This is the present location of 1 of 6 ogham stones (CO085-067008- with CO085-067003-; CO085-067004-; CO085-067005-; CO085-067006-; CO085-067007-) discovered in 1846 built into souterrain (CO085-067002-), in the SW quadrant of a ringfort (CO085-067001-), at Ballyhank, Co. Cork. According to Macalister (1945, 100-1, no. 102), the original inscription on this stone (1.1m; 0.3m x 0.3m) has almost entirely been erased; on 'the dexter angle' is another inscription, which he describes as 'a mere graffito....roughly scratched' and gives as DILOGONN, the same reading as McManus (1991, 65). (Power et al. 1997, no. 7953)
