from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kilmolash Oghamstone, which is broken in three parts, lies next to the ruins of the destroyed Church of Kilmolash, ( Irish Cill Molaise ), near a tributary of the Finisk River, east of Villierstown , in County Waterford in Ireland , where it was used as a step at the entrance in 1894 to the choir was found. The medieval church at Kilmolash is a spectacular blend of different architectural styles and shows how it changed through the centuries. The founding of the church is attributed to Saint Molaise, who lived at the beginning of the 6th century.

The ogham stone is 3.05 m long, 0.51 m wide and 0.18 m thick.

The inscription is illegible as a small simple cross was struck over the Ogham script , which probably caused one of the cracks.
