What is recorded here

A Silurian grit stone (L 1m) with a square cross-section (dims 0.26m x 0.16m to 0.30m x 0.19m) which had been marking a grave just outside the E gable of the church (LE037-004001-) (MacNeill 1909) is now set upright inside the wall of the old graveyard at N. It has an ogham inscription on two angles, one of which is badly damaged. The inscription has been read as: G (A)T (T)...QENUVEN... by MacNeill (1909) and by Macalister (1945, vol. 1, 3-4), and originally could have read 'GATTAGNI MAQI MUCOI QENUVENDI'. See the attached view of the stone. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 7 January 2020
