Palaeography:McManus/1991, 68: `The second stone is in poor condition and I can make no sense of the reading (from left to right): LiSSe/igvOg. Finbarr Moore kindly supplied me with his reading of the stone, which was OLSSIgVUG'.

Macalister/1949, 196: `I understand until they can be released from the masonry in which they are embedded, it is impossible to obtain adequate readings of them, especially as the soutterrain appears to be extremely awkward to work in'.
