What is recorded here

This is one of four stones recorded by Windele (Macalister 1943, 63) prior to their destruction in the mid-ninteenth century. The inscription on this stone was read by Windele and Macalister (ibid, no. 60) as MAILAGN(I). Macalister (ibid) quotes or paraphrases Windele thus: 'Within the enclosure (CO052-039002-)....four standing stones. One of these is the ogham no. 1 (CO052-039001-). Twenty yards south of it was a pair of stones, one of which was the ogham no. 2 (CO052-053---). A short distance to the west of these was a solitary pillar, with some flagstones, laid down close by (CO052-057---).
