Ogham Stones
This Ogham writing system or script was created for an early form of the Irish language. Our earliest ogham inscriptions on stone are approximately dated on linguistic grounds to between the 4th and the 7th century AD. Over 400 known examples of ogham stones and fragments of various shapes and sizes have survived, each with its own unique biography or story.
