Ogham & Roman Latin Inscribed Stone in Cilgerran – Pembrokeshire, Wales

Within St Llawddog’s churchyard is a standing stone dated as early – medieval, containing Ogham as well as Roman Latin inscriptions.

Professor Nancy Edwards translates the latin TRENEGUSSIFILI – MACUTRENIHICIACIT as ‘Treneguss son of Macus-Treni, here he lies’.

The ogam inscription runs down the edge of the same face:

(TREN)[A]GUS[.]MAQIMAQITRENI

Edwards translates this to read ‘of Trenagus[.] son of Macus-Treni’
