ISLAND OGHAM STONE |
This ogham stone is standing on the top of a low mound, probably an artificial tumulus and as the result of digging around its base, the stone has slipped, and now stands at an angle of about 75 degrees. It is composed of grit and measures 1.6m in height, 0.56m in width and 0.56m in depth and is rectangular in form. The inscription, in bold scores, reads 'CUNALEGI AVI QUNACANOS' and translates as 'Cunalegi, descendant of Qunacanos'. It has been dated by Ziegler to 400 - 499 AD and by Korolev to 400 - 500 AD and the stone is known locally as the 'Bracklaghboy Stone'. |
