What is recorded here

One ogham stone in Liscahane, County Cork, acted as a lintel inside an underground passage within a ringfort before quarrying exposed the chamber in 1981. The stone measured 1.90 metres long, 0.40 metres wide and 0.15 metres thick, and its downward inscription read COLMANN MACI COMGGANN. It later moved to Millstreet Museum, carrying with it the suspicion that ColmANN was not a distant name but a living person remembered beneath a ordinary ground.

This is the original location for one of two ogham stones (see also CO039-062005-) discovered in 1981 when a Man-made underground passage (CO039-062002-) within a ringfort (CO039-062001-) was uncovered during quarrying. The site was subsequently excavated and the two stones which acted as lintels in chamber 2 of the Man-made underground passage, were removed to Millstreet Community School. This stone (1.90m x .40m x .15m) was subsequently moved to Millstreet Museum where it is on display (see CO039-244001-). The inscription on this stone was visible when the lintel was in place (pers. comm. B. O Donnabháin). It reads downwards in it’s current position as follows: COLMANN MACI COMGGANN.
