Ogham Writing

Ogham writing is an ancient script originating from Ireland, used primarily between the 4th and 8th centuries AD. It consists of 20 letters, each represented by a series of straight lines or notches carved along a central stem. Traditionally, Ogham was inscribed on stones, marking territory or commemorating individuals. Each letter corresponds to a sound and is often linked to trees and nature, reflecting the culture of its time. Ogham serves as a unique insight into early Irish language and heritage, blending linguistic significance with archaeological importance.
