Kilcaskan

Ogham Stone and Church

Old Kilcaskan graveyard is situated about two kilometres north of Adrigole in the Barony of Bear. The badly overgrown church is in the centre of the old graveyard. A modern graveyard extends to the north of the old one, with parking on the eastern side. The ogham stone is quite easy to find, standing tin the southern section of the graveyard, behind the church. It stands 1.2 metres high and is just 0.23 metres wide. The top of the stone is broken, so there is a gap in the inscription. In 1945 Macalister read the inscription as: LUGUQRIT ......... LONAS.

Situated: From Adrigole head north on the R574. After 1.6 kilometres, at the Fork turn right signposted Kilcaskan Church. The graveyard is 500 metres down here in total, slight right after 450 metres.
