Near its original site, 90m NW of Kilchattan church (No.276), stands a pillar, 1.7m in incomplete height by 0.25m by 0.31m at base. The NW arris forms the stem-line of a much-weathered ogham inscription which has been discussed by Jackson and Forsyth.
Jackson: H(??)M[a]Q(c/t)AG(e/i/oa/ua)(bb/l)
Forsyth: vi(q/c)ulaMAQ(u/ /i)(c/t)O( /m)GI(n/l/bb)i
This appears to contain the Irish MAQ ('son'), probably in the common commemorative formula 'X son of Y', and the lettering is also of Irish type. (Forsyth 1996, 288-98).
