Aghascrebagh

The Ogham stone at Aghascrebagh stands at 1.2 metres high by 0.5 metres wide, it is thought to be a standing stone with the ogham added at a later date. The Inscription which is deteriorating reads,

DOTETTO MAQI MAGLANI

The stone had fallen at sometime and has been re-erected. About a hundred West of the Ogham stone is a large standing stone (pictured below) some 2.25 metres high. If you look North across the valley you can see Dun Ruadh from here.

Situated: If you are in this area I suggest you visit Dun Ruadh first. From there drive west and take the first left then take the next left about 1 kilometre along this road you will see a green gate opposite a large house, the two stones are in the field through this gate and clearly visible from the road.
