The Emlagh East Ogham Stone, also called the Priest's Stone (Cloch an tSagairt) is an ogham stone (CIIC 180) and a National Monument located in County Kerry, Ireland.[1][2][3]

Location

Emlagh East ogham stone is located on the south end of Short Strand, near to Doonshean.[4]

History

This stone was erected as a grave marker, with inscription in Primitive Irish, some time in c. AD 400–470, making it contemporary with Saint Patrick.[5] Nearby is a flat stone named Lackshivaunnageelagh (Leac Shiobhán na nGeimhleach, "flagstone of Siobhán of the captives"), and there is a tradition of an old church at the strand and evidence for a graveyard found nearby.[6] It originally stood in a field near the strand at Trabeg and was noted by Edward Lluyd in 1702; it was moved temporarily to Chute Hall about 1849 and now lies on a concrete base near its original location.[7][8][9]

Description

The stone is grit, 239 × 61 × 28 cm. The inscription reads ᚛ᚁᚏᚒᚄᚉᚉᚑᚄᚋᚐᚊᚊᚔᚉᚐᚂᚔᚐᚉᚔ᚜ BRUSCCOS MAQQI CALIACỊ ("of Bruscus son of Cailech").[10][11] A cross is carved into the stone; it is not clear if it was put there before or after the inscription. The name Bruscus (perhaps meaning "thunder") also appears on CIIC 64 in Glenawillin, located Шаблон:Convert to the east. The name Cailech appears in genealogical accounts of the Corcu Duibne.[12]
