Legibility: | some Macalister/1945, 34: `In the first line the greater part of the letters SEG are now diffcult to see by reason of the intrusive tombstone: in the second line the H-half of the R is flaked away'. McManus/1991, 67, lists this as one of the readings given by Macalister that he would question: `Macalister's sketch is upside-down. The tombstone in front of the stone made a satisfactory reading impossible'. |
