Ogham was the ancient alphabet of the Celts. It is thought to have been invented in the southern Ireland, although examples have also been found in Wales and Cornwall. The ogham alphabet consists of a series of markings cut into the edges of standing stones. The letters are made of either straight or slanting lines. Each mark represents a letter of the ancient Irish alphabet. There are about 300 ogham stones in Ireland mainly in the south and south-west of the country.
