A souterrain (WA024-033004-) associated with the perimeter of an ecclesiastical enclosure (WA024-033003-) at the N contained ten ogham stones which are now preserved at the site. This is the fourth lining stone on the W side (recorded as an 'unshapely mass of greenstone', 0.97m x 0.66m x 0.09m converted from Macalister 1945) and is still in situ.

A souterrain (WA024-033004-) associated with the perimeter of an ecclesiastical enclosure (WA024-033003-) at the N contained ten ogham stones which are now preserved at the site. This is the fourth lining stone on the W side (recorded as an 'unshapely mass of greenstone', 0.97m x 0.66m x 0.09m converted from Macalister 1945) and is still in situ. Macalister (1945, 276, no. 281) read the ogham inscription (a palimpsest) as: DEAGOS MAQI MUCO[I……]NAI. (Moore 1999, 1487)
