Recorded as 'just near' another (uninscribed) stone (WI021-082----) 'on the farm called Old Mills, south of the village of Donard' (Macalister 1945, 52, no. 48; Corlett and Weaver 2002, 541), this ogham stone was moved to its present location in 1995, having been placed for a time at an interim location north of Donard (marked 'Ogham Stone' on the OS 6-inch map (WI021-083----)). It is a rectangular block of stone (dims. 1.52m x 0.68m x 0.53m). Macalister (1897, 77) describes the inscription as 'much worn and damaged. . . After it turns on to the top [after the I of KOI] nothing definite can be stated'. He read the inscription as IAQINI KOI MAQI MUC ... .' (Grogan and Kilfeather 1997, no. 1007)
