Welcome to this weeks video in which we look at the Ogham Stone. Miles away from where it "should" be. But why? We are in Silchesters Roman Walls today looking at the location of the mysterious Ogham Stone.
Videos To Watch Next:

Usual notices:
1. We are not historians or Academics. We enjoy researching and learning, and with that we enjoy sharing our journeys with you. That said, sources for information often listed below with credits.
2. Corrections. Whilst we make every attempt to not include any errors, research, and piecing stories together from dozens of sources sometimes leads to one or two. I will note here if any are found:
Errors and Notes:
1. The correct terminology here whould have been: "An Alphabet invented to write the primitive Irish Language, the earliest attested form of Gaelic"
