CL045-033010- Killaloe Ogham - Runic Stone

This cross-inscribed ogham stone was 'discovered in 1916, built into the wall surrounding the cathedral [at Killaloe (CL045-033006-)] enclosure : now set up on a supporting stone inside the building' (0.89 x 0.46 x 0.2m converted from Macalister 1945, 58-9, no. 54). 'A runic inscription is inscribed on the face reading [TH]URGRIM RISTI [KR]US THINA 'Thorgrim raised this cross' and is accompanied by a damaged scholastic Ogam inscribed on the side reading BENDACHT ... TOROQR ... which can be restored with reasonable certainty as BENDACHT FOR TOROQRIM 'a blessing on T' (McManus 1991, 130). McManus dates this inscription to the period after the seventh century on the grounds that the oghams are scholastic.
