Archaeology Notes

NO55NW 81 522 559.

Possible Pictish Ogam stone fragment noticed whilst visiting the Class I stone at Aberlemno [NO55NW 8] (built into a wall-corner opposite): a fragment of a stone with a series of carved strokes along two edges.

Sponsor: Keltic Research Society.

NO 5230 5600. In 1994 over 20 clear grooves (of varying lengths) were noted carved along at least two edges of a rectangular block built into a drystane dyke, at the left side of the entrance to a cottage just NE of the line of roadside Pictish symbol stones; only removal of this block would determine if it was the fragment of an ogam inscription or if the line of grooves had been made for a different purpose.

K Naddair 1996.
