Ogham
Script carved along the edges of standing stones by Celtic peoples of Ireland and Britain (4th–7th century).
Script carved along the edges of standing stones by Celtic peoples of Ireland and Britain (4th–7th century). Characters are distinguished by the number and direction of strokes along a central line. Connected to Irish Druid culture, it is also called the "tree alphabet" — each letter bears the name of a tree. ~400 Ogham inscriptions survive in Ireland, serving as key sources for Gaelic linguistic research.
