Abstract

First mentioned in February 5, 1693/4, when it stood in the ruins of St. Dogmael’s Abbey, Pembrokeshire, Wales, St. Dogmael’s Stone – located today inside St. Thomas’s Church – was considered ‘The Ogham Rosetta Stone’ because it is a Bilingual Stone, which contains the same inscription in two different scripts: Roman Letters and Ogham. This article presents a systematization of the main information related to this monument and an analysis of it, pointing out its importance to the Ogham Studies.
