This ogham stone, which was built into the E gable of St Declan’s Oratory, was removed c. 1855 (FitzGerald 1854-5) and is now displayed in the chancel of the cathedral (see WA040-008025-). It has two inscriptions which have been read by Macalister (1945, vol. 1, 257-8) as: 1. LUGUDECCAS MAQI [...MU]COI NETA-SEGAMONAS and 2. DOLATI BIGA-ISGOB [... . A second ogham stone (WA040-008006-) was found built into a low wall in the cathedral and is now in the National Museum of Ireland (DU018-248----). A third stone (WA040-008007-) was found beside a grave and it is now also displayed in the chancel of the cathedral. (Moore 1999, 1481) 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.
