What is recorded here

Donaghmore graveyard in County Kildare held an Ogham stone marking an O'Farrell family grave until discovery in 1902. Lord Walter Fitzgerald found the small marker in the northeast sector, preserving a name and lineage carved in ancient script. The stone now rests in the National Museum of Ireland, carrying the memory of a local family across centuries.

Discovered in 1902 by Lord Walter Fitzgerald (1903-5, 26) in the NE sector of Donaghmore graveyard (KD006-005004-), where, according to O'Hanluain (1935-45, 170), it marked an O'Farrell family grave. Macalister (1945, 130-1, no. 26) recorded the stone's dimensions (0.76 x 0.36 x 0.23m, converted from Macalister) and read the inscription as: NETTAVRECC [KOI] MAQI MUCCOI TRENALUGGO. McManus (1997, 66, 79) suggested that there was enough room for a more likely NETTAVROICC or NETTAVROECC and that Macalister's KOI was doubtful. The stone is now in the National Museum of Ireland (DU018-173----). Compiled by: Nora White Date of upload: 14 September 2016
