Ogham Stones (Built in Wall)

Six ogham stones are re-used, mainly as lintels, and a seventh is standing in the corner of the medieval parish church of Seskinan at Knockboy (WA013-034001-). This lintel is over the window at the E end of the N wall and was discovered in 1851 by G. V. du Noyer. Recorded as measuring 1.78 x 0.56 x 0.23m (converted from Macalister 1945). Inscription 'chiselled on two angles (up-down) beginning on the right-hand edge, on the face turned toward the inside of the church', read by Macalister (1945, 286, no. 292) as: ….]ER[A]T[I] M[U]C[OI] NETA-S[EGAM]ONAS. (Moore 1999, 1495) This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.
