What is recorded here

Large stone (2.5m; 0.4m x 0.3m) discovered in 1872 during ploughing of a field, later set up as a gate post (Brash 1879, 160-1); according to farmer, formed lintel in possible long cist grave (7946). Purchased by Royal Irish Academy (Quarry 1896, 382) and now in collection of National Museum of Ireland (see DU018-366----). Macalister (1945, 116-8, no. 118) gave the inscription as VEQREQ MUCOI GLUNLEGGET, but considered that it had 'passed through a series of vicissitudes, all of which have left scars upon its surface' (ibid., 116). (Power 1997, 169, no. 7978) 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.
