What is recorded here
At the lowest and westernmost point of the ridge extending W from Flemingstown mountain, on level pastureland, is a standing stone bearing an ogham inscription along the N edge of its E face. The stone stands 2.3m high and is a maximum of 1.3m wide at base and an average of .6m thick; NNE-SSW. It is roughly rectangular both on plan and in elevation but decreases in thickness towards the top. Due to a combination of weathering, lichen growth and rubbing by animals, the inscription is faint and difficult to read, but Macalister's interpretation (1945, 161-2, no. 168) appears to be correct: IRCCITOS. (Cuppage 1986, no. 78)
