Ogam Writing in Cork
Ogam Writing in Cork
Ogam writing is an ancient form of script which was used in the 3rd, 4th and 5th centuries. It was found on tall standing pillar stones dotted around the country, and is seen to be a series of lines and etches scratched into the side corner of the tall stones. The script came to be recognised after it had been referred to in various manuscripts, most notably in the Tain Bó Chuailgne, a piece of literature which was found in the ancient manuscript, the Book of Leinster. Ogam stones were usually found over graves or tombs of great men. They are also believed to have been used as territorial boundary markers, in case of disputes arising. This particular stone is inscribed with the name, Fiachra, son of Glunlegget and was found at Monataggart in Co. Cork.
