What is recorded here

Melt water drips through cracks in the roofstones, keeping the chamber cool and dark. Three ogham stones lie buried under dirt and forgotten years, their marks hidden from most eyes. The largest is a long sandstone rib, wide enough to span the passage entrance. One ridge still carries a broken name, letters cut shallow and worn by time. A person may have spoken that name often before the chamber closed around it. The water still moves through the stone, carrying no memory but never stopping.

Three stones with fragments of ogham inscriptions were re-used as roofstones in Man-made underground passage 2 (ME005-104----). This sandstone boulder (L c. 1.4m; max. dims 0.74m x 0.33m) was in the outer part of the entrance passage. The inscription on a ridge of the stone rather than an edge is incomplete. It has been read by Fionnbarr Moore as: R…CTVI, with a vowel, either E or I after the R. (Eogan 1990, 61-2) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 5 September 2018
