The Cloonmorris Ogham Stone

The Cloonmorris Ogham Stone is an ancient monument at Saint Michael's Church, Bornacoola, County Leitrim, in Ireland.

Description

It is the only Ogham inscribed stone to be recorded in County Leitrim. First examined by Mac Neill in 1909, the stone then marked the Kellagher family burial plot "opposite the middle of the eastern gable of the ruin" of Cloonmorris church. The Шаблон:Nobreak long stone dates to Шаблон:Circa, has an ecclesiastical association, and is not definitely post-apocope.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

The defaced inscription makes accurate reading difficult. The inscription reads Шаблон:Em,Шаблон:Sfn or Шаблон:Em, expanding to "QENUVEN[DI--" and translating to "QVENVENDANI", "(hair of the) head" + "fair" + diminutive suffix.Шаблон:Sfn Korlev interpreted the inscription as "Шаблон:Em" while Gippert (1978) suggested the inscription was "Шаблон:Em" marking the genealogy Шаблон:Em?Шаблон:Sfn

MacNeill thought the stone was probably the memorial of one Шаблон:Proper name (Шаблон:Lang-ga). In Wales the name Шаблон:Proper name occurs on a British-Latin inscription at Parcau near Whitland in Carmarthenshire,Шаблон:Sfn and is believed to identify a person of Gaelic, rather than Brythonic, origin.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Refn Scholars noted the Cloonmorris is "hardly a stone's throw from the boundary" between Longford and Leitrim, the stone standing inside the historic Conmhaícne territory once separating the Kingdom of Meath from Connacht.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Nobreak the stone was moved and enclosed on a pedestal near the churchyard entrance, but in doing so was placed into an inverted (top-down) position.Шаблон:Sfn
