This sad stone sits in an untidy niche at the side of the road. It is broken and would not be able to stand if it tried. The nearest house is owned by some English people who use it as a holiday home. They know of the Ogham stone but obviously do not care for it.
The Ogham is fading which is probably why it is still 'in situ'. A very sad sight.

_The little roadside alcove holding the stone was a lot clearer than on my previous visit. The ogham was a little clearer also, but it is still very faint. I wanted to take a picture using some side flash, but the batteries were dead in one of my units. The reason I called in here was because I was looking for the bullaun stone down by the church, which isn't there anymore.

_From Arklow take the N11 north and then take the 5th right turn (12km). At the next t-junction turn left and the right. Just 50m along you will see a forestry entrance on the right. The stone is on the opposite side of the road.
The inscription reads NETA-CARI NEGA CAGI
