Macalister/1945: `The V is faint and there is a fracture at the end of the inscription, but it seems to be complete'.

Gippert/Web, Ogham 11: `No further marks were recoverable in 1978. By 1996, the angle seems to have suffered more levelling so that the B-strokes of the N have become even harder to trace. Of Macalister's reading, neither the medial O nor his V could be ascertained'.
