Ogham stones

Drummin I (CIIC 11) reads CUNOVATO on a Sandstone pillar 1.05m (03.44feet) high.[6] This suggests *Kunowatīs, "dog prophet," and a 5th-century date.[7]

Drummin II reads RAVASA KOI MAQQI D/T ... L ("Here is Ravasa, son of ...") and SENN on a sandstone pillar 1.9m (06.2feet) high.[8] [9] [10] [11]
