What is recorded here

Ogham stone in Knockballymaloogh is an ogham stone in Knockballymaloogh, County Tipperary, Ireland. The conglomerate sandstone marker stands on a broad east-west ridge in pasture, reaching 1.6 metres on its east side while an ogham inscription runs along the northeast and southeast edges of that face. Cattle have worn a slight hollow around its base, and the summit position provides a good southern view despite poorer outlooks elsewhere.
