Type: Ogham Stone
Townland: Baile an tSagairtTownland of the priest
This rounded boulder, with flattened upper and lower surfaces, is 1.05m long and, as on the other stones, the ogham inscription follows an imaginary stem-line along its sides.
It reads: TRIA MAQA MAILAGNI CURCITTI.
Macalister noted a difference in the technique of execution between the first 3 and 4th words, and suggested that two separate inscriptions were involved; this difference is not however particularly evident.
The upper face of the stone bears an unusual cross motif. The ends of the side arms take the form of a trident or 3-pronged fork, the arms themselves forming the middle prong. A short cross-bar directly below the end of the upper arm gives the impression of a small cross here.
