The stone originally lay recumbent on Derrynane strand. The Office of Public Works erected it by the roadside in the 1940s. [5]

History

This stone was erected as a grave marker, with inscription in Primitive Irish, some time in the early 6th century AD. [6]

Description

The stone is sandstone grit, 211 cm × 51 cm × 30 cm (83 in × 20 in × 12 in). The inscription, heavily weathered, reads ANM ḶḶATỊG̣[NI] Ṃ[A]Q [MINE]ṚC/ Ṃ[UCOI Q ̣ ̣ ? ̣ ̣CI?] ("name of Llatigni, son of Minerc, of the tribe of Q...ci") "Llatigni" contains the diminutive particle -gno-, suggesting the name Láithbe or Láithech. Min- is also a diminutive particle, suggesting "Little Erc" (Erc Becc). [7] [8]
