Ogham is the earliest form of writing in Ireland, dating back to the 4th century BCE. The Ogham alphabet consists of a series of strokes or notches that are either along or across a line. This writing system is sometimes referred to as the "Celtic Tree Alphabet" because several of the letters are associated with the names of specific trees in old Irish.

The Ogham alphabet was often inscribed on standing stones as a way to commemorate someone or something important. The carvings were typically made along the edge of the stone, using the edge as the center line. When reading Ogham, the letters are normally read from left to right, starting at the bottom and moving up. If necessary, the reader would then continue across the top of the stone and down the other side.

While Ogham is no longer in use today, it remains an important part of Ireland's ancient history and culture. The unique and intricate nature of the alphabet is a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of our Irish ancestors.

Each piece is bespoke and handmade in my workshop using natural slate material.

Perfect gifts for friends and family for any occasion such as birthdays, anniversary, Christmas presents, housewarming parties and more.

Weather Resistant - Each sign is made from strong, durable natural slate stone 6-9mm thick. These Ogham sign designs are generally intended for indoor use but all paints used are designed for outdoors use and rated for a long lasting lifespan exposed to the elements.

All my signs are clear and easy to read, even from a distance.

Installation made simple with pre-drilled fixing holes. These signs come with a length of twine already installed on the sign which will suffice for hanging it on your wall.
