What is recorded here

One of two ogham stones (see also CO061-079004-) found when a flourmill was demolished c. 1840 on the site of a possible ringfort (CO061-079001-). This is the original location of the ogham stone (H 2.4m x 0.8m x 0.15m) (present location CO061-089001-). It was used as a foot-bridge over the Delehinagh river (Hartnett 1939, 74) until 1851, when it was erected nearby beside St. Olan's holy well (CO061-089002-), where it remains today (Macalister 1945, 120, no. 122). Inscription worn and damaged but read by Macalister (ibid.) as MADORA MAQI DEGO. (Power et al. 1997, no. 7962) Compiled by: Nora White Date of upload: 5 March 2016
