One of seven ogham stones (KD032-044001- to KD032-044007-) recorded by Macalister (1945, 26-7 (22 – No. IV)) at 'Killeen Cormac' burial ground (KD032-044----). This stone was found buried and was re-erected inside the modern entrance to the burial ground. According to Macalister (op. cit.), 'The stone has chisel-cut scores and the beginning and end of the inscription is missing. The inscription reads ...EGNI KOI MAQI MUC[..] A[.]I.. A fracture on the corner has carried off the OI' of a probable MUCOI.' A roughly rectangular lichen covered, earthfast stone (H 1.2m; Wth 0.5m E-W; T 0.3m) has the ogham inscription on its NE corner. The N and S faces of the stone are uneven, while the E and W ends have a smoother finish.
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, where the inscription is translated as, ‘… here, son of the tribe of ... .’ To access details, including a description with 3D imagery, transcription, translation and commentary on the inscription, and references, please go to the following website: http://ogham.celt.dias.ie/search.php?ciic=22 (last accessed 14 November 2013)
