About this 3D model

Site'Derrygariff is a low ridge which runs S from Knocknagullion mountain and is located c. 6km NE of Parknasilla' (O'Sullivan et al 1996, p 242). MonumentRough sandstone, 0.64m x 0.24m x 0.22m with framed diagonal cross on face (O'Sullivan et al 1996, p 242). TextInscription 'poorly preserved', boustrophedon/up-top-down. Also, 'diagonal cross enclosed in a rough rectangular frame occurs on the face of the stone between the two inscribed angles.' According to Moore (unpub. MA thesis), cross contemporary or earlier than inscription (O'Sullivan et al 1996, 242). In aggreement with Moore, the 3D data shows that there is insufficient evidence for Macalister's possible M following the S and there is not enough space at the top of the stone for an E before the R. The AQQ of Macalister's MAQQI- and the C of his -ERCIA are not clear on the 3D model. TranscriptionS[ ... ]BNAG M[AQQ]I-RC̣IATranslation'? Mac-Erce?'
