What is recorded here

One of six ogham stones surfaced at Ballyhank in 1846, hidden inside an underground passage beneath a ringfort. Its main inscription has nearly vanished, leaving only a rough graffito reading DILOGONN on one edge. The stone still stands at its present location in County Dublin, carrying a ghost of the name it once recorded.

This is the present location of 1 of 6 ogham stones (CO085-067008- with CO085-067003-; CO085-067004-; CO085-067005-; CO085-067006-; CO085-067007-) discovered in 1846 built into Man-made underground passage (CO085-067002-), in the SW quadrant of a ringfort (CO085-067001-), at Ballyhank, Co. Cork. According to Macalister (1945, 100-1, no. 102), the original inscription on this stone (1.1m; 0.3m x 0.3m) has almost entirely been erased; on 'the dexter angle' is another inscription, which he describes as 'a mere graffito....roughly scratched' and gives as DILOGONN, the same reading as McManus (1991, 65). (Power et al. 1997, no. 7953) 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.
