Site:CLMAC
Discovery:first mentioned, 1872 Petrie, G.
History:This stone is recorded as either Macalister/1899, no. 129, or no. 165. It may in fact be both since the description of these two stones is the same, and no other inscription from Clonmacnoise reads [--]UID[--].

Macalister/1909, 2 and 42 identifies this stone with Petrie/1872, Fig. 66, an identification to which he presumably still adhered in 1949 as this stone of Petrie's does not otherwise appear.

Macalister/1949, 43, records the stone as still on site.
