'clay-slate ... a flat rhombus in section', 1.08m x 0.30m x 0.18m (converted from Macalister 1945, 217).
'inscribed on one of the obtuse angles', stone worn, chipped and top broken (Macalister 1945, 217).
'name/inscription of ?'
The E is represented by the first supplementary character (or forfid) with its vocalic value /e/, rather than its consonantal value /k/ or /x/, usually transliterated K. With this vocalic usage, 'late linguistic features tend to be more frequent'. There is also 'a correlation with this usage and that of the ANM formula, which is also symptomatic of late date'(McManus 1991, 79; Swift 1997, 83-90).
According to Macalister (1945, 217) 'of unknown provenance; for long preserved in Bishop Graves garden at Parknasilla'. However, the acquisition files in the National Museum state that it was found in the townland of Derryquin, barony of Dunkerron South. Coordinates unknown. (GPS coordinates, approximate location only -9.867312, 51.822169)
