Not one, but five ogham stones! What's more, they're under cover in a nice little information centre at the abbey. This obviously protects them from the elements, but I'm not sure about the inscriptions: they do look as if they've been sharpened up a bit, which can't be too good, really. It may be that they're really that good, though.

The five stones are arranged so that there is one in each corner of the room and one in the centre. Each stone has a small sign by it detailing the inscription, which is great.

The inscriptions are:

1. DEBANI MAQI ELTI AVI OGATOS

2. VAGNI MUCOI CUNIA

3. MAQI E[G...]

4. [CU]NAMAQI LUGEDECA MUC[OI] CUNEA

5. NISIGNI MAQ ER[...]I

Letters in square brackets means that noone is sure about them.
