This is my first Ogham (pronounced Oyam) stone and I was not impressed at first. It is very hard to make out the inscription (what did I expect after over 1000+ years?), but the stone it self is fantastic.
On reflection now, I want to go back and decipher the message (I don't think this is possible) and I look upon it as one of my favourite things. The stone itself would be a fantastic addition to the standing stone page.
I am glad to see that they have cleared the forestation from around it, but I am not sure if this is a permanent thing or not.

It was a coin flip whether to come here or go to Boleycarrigeen (County Wicklow) and as the light was fading fast I decided to head here. We had done a few circles and so an ogham stone was an extra bonus. It also gave me an excuse to come and get a photo with somebody standing by it for scale.

Another quick stop while passing to take a GPS reading. If you do intend visiting this site be careful as you walk across the clearing to the stone, because it's not all that clear: there are many broken branches lying beneath the grass that are potential ankle-breakers!

From Donard head east towards the Glen of Imail. At the junction with the third road to the right park up at the entrance to the forest on the left. Walk up the path for just 100m or so. If you are lucky then the stone will be visible to your right. If not then dive into the trees and start looking!
