This ogham stone was found near Camp about the middle of the 19th century. It was removed by Mr. Day to the grounds of Beaufort House, near Killarney (KE065-127----), where it remains today. It stands 1.25m high and is .48m wide x .2m thick. A perforation near the top of the stone suggests that it may at one time have functioned as a gatepost. The surface of the stone is very rough and the inscription, particularly the vowels, is not easy to read. Macalister (1945, 169, no. 177) interpreted it as:
CCILARI AV(I) ....COI VAG...
Traces of a 2nd inscription are discernible near the top of one of the opposite angles. The letters ANI remain. (Cuppage 1986, no. 801)
