Ogham inscriptions

Ogham inscriptions are an ancient form of writing used primarily in Ireland and Britain from the 4th to the 10th centuries AD. Comprising a series of strokes or notches cut into stone or wood, Ogham consists of twenty characters, each associated with a letter of the alphabet, often representing names. These inscriptions are typically found on standing stones and serve various purposes, including commemorating individuals or marking territory. Ogham provides valuable insights into early medieval languages, cultures, and societies, particularly the Gaelic-speaking populations of the time.
