Aglish church (KE054-032001-) and graveyard (KE054-032002-): A cross-inscribed ogham stone [ke054-032003-], now in the NMI, was removed from the site in the mid-19th century and this 2nd ogham stone remains standing beside one of the tombs. This stone measures 0.9m in height x 0.25m in width. The ogham inscription which occupies the NW angle was read by Macalister (1945, 138, no. 142) as: CELI AVI VU... None of the vowels of Macalister's reading are clear. The single score on the H-side at the end of the inscription where the stone is broken, could be the first score of a D, T, C or Q. Macalister also noted some ogham scores on the NE angle but these are no longer discernible. (Cuppage 1986, no. 810)
