What is recorded here

A large rectangular fallen slab of close-grained slate (dims. L 2.87m; Wth at W end 1.78m tapering to Wth at E end of 1.55m; max. T 0.45m tapering to 0.28m at the E end), in its own enclosure in a corner of a field by the side of the road. On the N edge of the upper face, along the eastern portion for a length of c. 1.15m from the E edge, is an ogham inscription read by Macalister (1945, 42-4, no. 38) as: CORBI KOI MAQI LABRID. According to Macalister (ibid.) the stone was originally standing upright in the field in which it is now recumbent. (National Monument no. 599) 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.
