What is recorded here

This is one of four ogham stones (KE021-087002-; KE021-087004-; KE021-087005-; KE021-087007-) from the souterrain (KE021-087001-) in the SW sector of the ringfort named Lismore (An Lios Mór; KE021-087----). This multivallate rath is situated on rising land and has an extensive view of the surrounding countryside. It consists of a circular area enclosed by three banks and fosses. An opening was made into one of the chambers in the late 1970s, so the drystone walling construction of the chambers and tunnels is quite visible (Toal 1995, no. 774). Ogham writing was recorded on a lintel stone on the chamber side of the tunnel (ibid.). This stone was removed and its current whereabouts are unknown.
