| This ogham stone is one of two stones, one of red granite with quartz, rectangular in horizontal section and the other of the local grit. They are standing at a distance of 1.15m apart and between them is a boulder of blue-stone. An excavation showed that the first stone is sunk to a depth of 0.36m, the second 0.55m and that the intervening space is filled with a packing of rounded stones and are orientated N-S. The north stone, the ogham stone, has a rectangular cross-section 1.15m in height, 0.6m in width and 0.5m in depth and the inscription reads "IARNI". McManus (1991) dated the stone to 366 - 466 AD while Ziegler (1994) dated it to 400 - 550 AD. |
