| Legibility: | some Manning/Moore/1997, 371: `the exposed face of the stone has been partly dressed by the medieval builders and this has damaged some of the ogham letters, especially some of the vowel notches. Two pairs of long diagonal strokes (both G) stand out best on the face, but some other consonant strokes running the other way can be detected in the masonry joint on the upper face of the stone. The inscription appears to begin after a blank 33 cm at the west (or right hand end) with a G, followed by a damaged section which could have held 5, or more likely, 4 vowel strokes (E?), than an L followed by a damaged vowel stroke (A), then G and N followed by 5 or 6 damaged vowel strokes. Finally, there is a V and 2 vowel strokes running up to the broken corner ... with the remained of the inscription on an edge of the stone hidden by the wall'. |
