| Palaeography: | CISP: The lettering is Insular half-uncial. The second A is in the 'OC' form. The H is minuscule and the T has a curved ascender with a flat top-stroke. The Ss are half-uncial. The B has a vertical ascender and a closed bow and the E is in the closed minuscule form. The first A is of a form unique to Clonmacnoise, it is more like a minuscule d in shape. The U is angular. |
| Legibility: | poor Macalister/1949, 199: `the stem of a three-line cross ending in a semicircular expansion. This apparently contained a fret-pattern, but the surface of the stone is so badly disintegrated that any attempt at reconstructing it would be misleading. For the same reason, the inscription which runs parallel with the cross-stem, is equally obscure...I leave it in the hope that some other decipherer will be more fortunate'. |
