What is recorded here

Ogham Stone stands in County Cork, Ireland, bearing the weathered name LOGA MAQI SDANBI and a later marker by James Ward. It lay hidden in pasture near a boundary fence before men moved it to a school grounds, pulling it from its ancient socket and scattering small crockery fragments into the dirt. The stone survived human curiosity and relocation, still holding its marks while the world around it forgot why it mattered.

Found in pasture, on the E side of a townland boundary fence between Ballyrobert and Rathcobane. This stone (H c. 1.3m; 0.33m x 0.26m) lay a short distance to the SW of the position indicated on the 1901 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps. The weathered inscription was interpreted by Macalister (1945, 70, no. 65) as LOGA MAQI SDANBI. He also noted that one James Ward has written his name in ogham on the other edge of the same face. According to Barry (1886, 485) the stone was removed from its socket in 1885 and 'two or three fragments of "crockery", each two or three inches square' were found at it's base. In 1986, subsequent to a survey visit, the stone was moved to the grounds of Scoil an Easpaig O Briain, Bartlemy (CO044-111----).
