Thanks Drew, even the names of the stones helps cos I can google it after. As far as the cross as an ogam mark goes, the one for a for ailm I changed my avatar to is the closest.

You won't be surprised to hear that I am interested in the ancient symbolism of trees which is linked to ogham (my particular favourite is the hedgerow elderberry).
An ogham stone was found buried there - it is also has Latin inscribed on it.
I really enjoy your posts ... fearless and honest, thats good.
Elders are a particular favourite of mine too, with their links to the nine maidens and well worship and all....
Is the latin inscription on that stone a translation of the ogam inscription?
Nothing to fear but ignorance June....

Fwiw, there's always the outside chance that one day, someone will uncover a stone with latin, ogham and CnRs on it, and it could be the rock art equivalent of the Rosetta stone :)
I'm interested in translating them using the Berla Egair naSaer. I read that ogam were often added to older stones later, which was what made me hope I'd get some hits.
Thanks Fourwinds, enough to get me started anyhow. I'm already seeing a numb butt and burning eyes in my future, as I tend to obsess, LOL.
