- CO085-067003 Ogham stone
Description
Discovered in 1846 built into a souterrain (CO085-067002-), in the SW quadrant of a ringfort (CO085-067001-), with five other ogham stones (CO085-067004-) (CO085-067005-) (CO085-067006-) (CO085-067007-) (CO085-067008-), now in the collection of the National Museum of Ireland (see DU018-369----). The stone (0.6m; 0.3m x 0.1m) is broken and missing the first part of the inscription, which Macalister (1945, 93, no. 97) gave as ...]LL MAQI VORRTIGURN. According to Macalister this is a secondary inscription, the older, apparently copied 'in minute pin-scrapes on the unoccupied part of the second inscribed angle', is given as DIOBI (ibid.). (Power et al. 1997, no. 7948) This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

This stone is now on display in the museum in Ballyferriter, Co. Kerry (see KE042-180----). The inscription is on three angles of the stone (0.9m; 0.4m x 0.2m), given by Macalister (1945, 94-6, no. 98) as CORBAGNI K[OI] M[A]Q[I] MOCCOI COROTANI, and by McManus (1991, 66) as CORBAGNI K.. ...COI cOROtANI.

- CO085-067005 Ogham stone
Description
Discovered in 1846 built into a souterrain (CO085-067002-) with five other ogham stones (CO085-067003-; CO085-067004-; CO085-067006-; CO085-067007-; CO085-067008-), now in the collection of the National Museum of Ireland (see DU018-371----). The stone (1.2m; 0.5m x 0.25m) is damaged so that some of the inscription may be lost. What remains was read by Macalister (1945, 96-7, no. 99) as SACATTINI; McManus (1991, 66) had difficulty reading both I's. (Power et al. 1997, no. 7950) This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

The inscription is cut on one angle of the stone (1.3m; 0.6m x 0.2m), read by Macalister (1945, 97, no. 100) as AB ULCCAGNI. Macalister (1945, 97, no. 100) thought the prefix AB an abbreviation of Abbot. According to McManus (1991, 61) the AB 'is best ignored.'

It is a roughly-squared stone (1.4m; 0.5m x 0.4m) with an inscription, which Macalister (1945, 98, no. 101) gave as MAQI-ESEA MAQI DOMANEQI, on the angle between the two which bear the main inscription are cut what Macalister (ibid.) describes as 'a line of enigmatic characters'.

According to Macalister (1945, 100-1, no. 102), the original inscription on this stone (1.1m; 0.3m x 0.3m) has almost entirely been erased; on 'the dexter angle' is another inscription, which he describes as 'a mere graffito....roughly scratched' and gives as DILOGONN, the same reading as McManus (1991, 65).
