What is recorded here
Fifteen ogham stones emerged from an underground passage inside a Ballyknock North ringfort, yet this weathered fragment now sits in the Stone Corridor at University College Cork. Its shallow marks resist easy reading, inviting scholars to argue over whether they name Drutiquli or someone else entirely. The stone survived burial and relocation, preserving a voice that still whispers through its damaged edges.
One of 15 ogham stones found in a Man-made underground passage (CO055-007003-) in a ringfort (CO055-007001-) at Ballyknock North, Co Cork (see CO055-007009-) and currently on permanent display in the Stone Corridor, University College Cork. The inscription is weathered, lightly incised and difficult to decipher. It was read by Macalister (1945, 86, no. 87) as DRUTIQULI MAQI MAQI-RODAGNI and by McManus (2004, 17 no. 11.) as D[ ]g[ ]Te/iQUL[ ]Q... . (Power et al. 1994, no. 4220)
