- At the residence of the late Very Rev. Father O'Byrne P.P. Piercestown is a stone about eight stone weight. It is about three feet high, and eight or ten inches wide, and three or four inches thick. The edges are very much worn.
A number of straight cuts paralell to each other are on the side of the stone. They are supposed to be Ogham characters.
It was found by Father O'Byrne about four years ago on the Saltee Islands south of Wexford.- Collector
