This stone is in pretty good condition. Much of the inscription is still visible. MacAlister read it as 'LUGUDI MAQI L...D...QA MOCOI DOMM(A)' in 1945.
The stone is now kept in the garden of Comeragh Lodge under a large shrub, which seems to be providing some protection from the elements. This does make it almost impossible to see the inscription properly though. The stone originated somewhere in the Knockalafalla-Rathgormuck area.
The people who live in the Lodge are very friendly and I enjoyed a long chat. The lady of the house told me that the stone came to be where it is because a previous owner of the house was travelling in the Rathgormuck area when he saw some workmen about to use it as a gatepost. He recognised it for what it is and offered them a new gatepost in exchange for the stone.
