| Two ogham stones are located in an ancient cemetery called Kiltera and are enclosed inside a metal fenced enclosure along with a small standing stone . The larger stone is composed of slate, with conspicuous quartz veins and measures 1.32m in height, 0.51m in width and 0.13m in depth. The top is broken and spalled but does not damage the inscription, which is pocked and rubbed. It reads “COLLABOT MUCOI LUGA MAQI LOBACCONA " and has been dated by Ziegler to 500 - 700 AD. |
