One of two ogham stones (KE047-037001-/KE047-026001-) discovered by the Tralee field club in the 1940s in a nearby burial ground (KE047-037----). Now located in a modern enclosure beside a standing stone (KE047-026----) with rock art (KE047-026002-). This stone (0.86m (above ground) x 0.15m x 0.14m) was recorded by Macalister (1945, 241, no. 246b) as 'a pillar stone about 4' high, square in horizontal section: broken in two'. He read the inscription as LMCBLTCL LT. Broken in two pieces one of which is lying on the surface of the ground at the base of the standing stone. Listed by Dr. Nora White as Ardcanaght II. Dr White described the markings on this stone as follows; ‘Many of the scores are curved, rather than the usual straight scores and I cannot make any sense of the text. It is also difficult to be sure of the correct re-alignment of the two fragments’. Cross-referenced with KE047-037002-.
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. For more details visit: https://ogham.celt.dias.ie/version2013/stone.php?lang=en&site=Ardcanaght&stoneinfo=description&stone=246b._Ardcanaght_II
