Oghamstone by Dromkeare
The Oghamstein of Dromkeare is near the Lough Currane in the townland Dromkeare ( Irish Drom Caor , German "berry back") in the south of County Kerry in Ireland .
The Oghamstein, marked with a chunky cross, is in an overgrown church enclosure near the Cumneragh River. It is cuboid and 1.81 meters high. On the west side of the red sandstone is a large cross carved to match the one on the Ogham stone in St. Mary's Collegiate Church at Gowran. His Ogham inscription reads:
[TI] DONNAMAQDOMNG [.] NN
Nearby is the Dromkeare row of stones .
