What is recorded here

This ogham stone, now in the National Museum of Ireland (Reg. No. 1885:431; see DU018-393----), was discovered in 1877 in a 'rath cave' near Killorglin (Rhys 1902, 15). It was provenanced by Macalister to 'near Lough Carragh' (1902, 87). It is 1.2m high and measures 0.45m x 0.42m in basal dimensions. Macalister (1945, 248, no. 253) read its inscription as: GALEOTOS. Macalister noted three vowel notches near the top of the stone which, he suggested, represent the end of an earlier inscription. It seems equally possible, however, that they are a continuation of this inscription (pers comm. Fionnbarr Moore). (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, no. 916) 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.
