Stone carved with an Ogham inscription, the earliest form of writing known in Ireland, in the National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology, a branch of the National Museum Of Ireland, opened 1890, on Kildare St in Dublin, Ireland. Ogham script is a system of linear symbols cut on either side, or across, a baseline. It is modeled on the Roman alphabet and consists of 20 letters. The key to translating the script is found in the Book of Ballymote, and over 300 inscriptions survive on stone, dating to 4th - 6th centuries, probably intended as commemorative stones or boundary markers.
