What is recorded here

Moore (1874-9, 45) records that a farmer, 'unsettled from the flooring of a modern out-office adjoining [Killahy Church KK013-067003-], a five [1.5m] or six feet [c. 1.8m] slab, on which were numerous incised strokes'. Unfortunately the slab was subsequently broken up when the graveyard wall was being built, but Moore (ibid.) goes on to say that he, 'discovered a small fragment of it inserted as [a] coigne [quoin] in the north angle of the enclosure; and though much effaced I have no doubt but that the incised characters thereon were Ogham'. None of the ogham fragments were visible when the graveyard was visited in 1987, though it is likely that some, including the piece mentioned by Moore, are incorporated in the graveyard wall.
