KE065-078006- 

This stone (present location KE065-041004-) stands 1.3m high, and is up to .45m in width and .lm in thickness. Prior to its use as a lintel its inscribed face was damaged, resulting in the loss of all vowel-notches and scores on this surface. The remaining scores along the edge and top of the stone were interpreted by Macalister (1945, 195, no. 201) as: ...MC...GE...M..Q...D...E.

Description
KE065-078006-

This stone (present location KE065-041004-) stands 1.3m high, and is up to .45m in width and .lm in thickness. Prior to its use as a lintel its inscribed face was damaged, resulting in the loss of all vowel-notches and scores on this surface. The remaining scores along the edge and top of the stone were interpreted by Macalister (1945, 195, no. 201) as: ...MC...GE...M..Q...D...E. Neither the second M nor the E, which is apparently represented by the forfid symbol, are now clearly visible. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, no. 863).
