Ballaqueeney Ogham Stone (Manx Cross 1)

Archaeology

An unworked, water-worn slab found re-used in a lintel grave close to a chapel (IOMHER 0024.00). The site was disturbed during the construction of a nearby railway line in 1874. The slab bears an inscription in ogham, 'Dovaidona maqui Droata' - (the stone) of Dubaed, son of Droata - which runs up the angle of one edge of the stone and round the top. The stone is now displayed in the Manx Museum.
