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.
