This well preserved Ogham stone stands in the grounds of Comeragh Lodge, just east
of the Comeragh mountains. Its inscription is still quite clear and reads"LUGUDI
MAQI L...D...QA MOCOI DOMM (A)". Lugh was a deity to the Celts, another name     
used was Lugaddon, so it could be referring to a man who was thought of as a son of     
the god Lugh. Of the tribes who lived around the Wexford -Waterford region, one of       
them was the Domnonil. With "MAQI" meaning 'son of ' and "MOCOI" meaning 'of  
the tribe', it can be translated as such."Lugu son of Lugh of the tribe Domnonil".The    
stone itself stands just 1.1m tall,is .45m in width and is just .20m in depth. The owners  
of the lodge, a most charming couple, informed me that the stone is not in its original    
position and in fact had been moved twice before,before returning to its now present      
home. The stone is in the private gardens of the lodge,so do please ask for permission.
