Location
Ardcanaght Stones are located Шаблон:Convert west of Castlemaine, to the north of the River Maine.[3][4]
History
The inscriptions are too fragmentary to give them a precise date. Ogham carvings were made in Ireland between the 4th and 10th centuries. They were rediscovered in the 1940s and moved here in recent years from a cillín.[5][6]
Description
The two stones are accompanied by a large standing stone, 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) tall.
The stones are:
- 246a: 90 cm (3 feet) tall with the inscription LMCBLTCL LT
- 246b: a small fragment with the inscription V MAQỊ. "MAQI" commonly appears on Ogham inscriptions; it means "son [of]".
