Description
Site
Souterrain discovered on removing the outer bank at NW of an Early ecclesiastical site. Ten ogham stones were used in the construction of the rectangular chamber (Moore 1999, 151, 172-3) - five as lintels, which are now removed and placed upright beside the souterrain, and five as lining stones for the sides, which are still in position.
Monument
'The sixth lintel'. Greenstone, 1.49m x 0.34m x 0.17m (converted from Macalister 1945, 271).
Text
'Inscription on three angles (up-down-up), and in good condition, except for is fractureof the top of the stone, which has carried off the middle of the third word... After the N a mistaken B-score had been blocked out: it was not deepened, and the A was cut over it. The first A of ..SALAR is broken away, and the space between the scores of the L in CELI is flaked. If there were such a name as Crisalar, it would exactly fill the vacant space, but this is not a suggested restoration - only an indication of the length of the damaged word ' (Macalister 1945, 271-2).
Commentary

-
A rare example from Ireland of the Latin convention of writing QV for Q in Irish names in the Latin alphabet: QVECI = QECI? cp. MAQVI for MAQI (McManus 1991, 126)
-
This is the only known example of the sequence X MAQQI Y CELI AVI Z (McManus 1991, 171 n17)
