the letters are cut. This accounts for the characters being in 

 such a wonderfully good state of preservation, very different 

 indeed from those on the other Ogam inscribed stone, in the 

 churchyard, which is of granite. 



Mr. Nicholls is to be congratulated on his discovery, and I 

 venture to think that it will not be out of place, to mention here, 

 that he not only gave his own time and that of one of his men, 

 but also supplied and fixed the two new stones, required to take 

 the places of those removed, at his own expense.
