This stone (1.88m; 0.35m x 0.26m) is one of two ogham stones (see CO061-022004-, also CO061-022003-) discovered in a souterrain (CO061-022001-) at Monataggart, Co. Cork, where it formed one of the 'upright stones' (Quarry 1896, 382). Two other ogham stones (CO061-022002-, CO061-022005-) were also discovered at this site. According to Macalister (1945, 119, no. 120), the 'inscription [is] perfectly legible, though the surface of the stone is rather rough'. He gave the inscription as BROINIENAS KOI NETA TTRENALUGOS; McManus (1991, 66) had difficulty reading the final U, O and S, but these have more recently been confirmed by the 3d data collected by the Ogham in 3D project (see below). (Power et al. 1997, no. 7980)
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. To access details go to the following website:
