This stone is from Monataggart, Co. Cork (see CO061-022002-). This large stone (2.5m; 0.4m x 0.3m) was discovered in 1872 during ploughing of a field, later set up as a gate post (Brash 1879, 160-1); according to the farmer, it formed the lintel in a possible long cist grave. 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)
