Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The Fardel ogham stone, prominently displayed at the British Museum, is a significant artifact offering insight into ancient Celtic culture. Carved with intricate ogham script, an early medieval alphabet used primarily to write the Old Irish language, the stone provides a glimpse into the linguistic and cultural practices of early Celtic peoples. Dating back to the 5th or 6th century CE, the stone's front bears the inscription in ogham script, likely serving as a commemorative marker or boundary stone. Its presence in the British Museum underscores the importance of preserving and studying cultural heritage, shedding light on the rich tapestry of human history. |
