This record relates to the original location of the ogham stone at Donard (WI021-004----). It was recorded by Price as originating 'just near' an uninscribed pillar stone (WI021-082----) in the townland of Ballylion Lower (Corlett and Weaver 2002, 541). Its original position is recorded by Macalister (1945, 52) as '1 foot 6 inches' (0.45m) from the standing stone. It is a rectangular block of stone (dims. 1.52m x 0.68m x 0.53m) now located in the village of Donard. Macalister (1897, 77) describes the inscription as 'much worn and damaged. . . After it turns on to the top nothing definite can be stated'. He read the inscription as IAQINI KOI MAQI MUC ... .' (Macalister 1945, 52, no. 48)
