What is recorded here

Milltown church in County Louth reportedly swallowed an ogham stone into its wall, yet the stone vanished before modern inspection. That absence turns a religious house into a forgetting machine, preserving faith while deleting the older name carved in stone. The building still stands, but the disappeared marker warns that memory itself can be demolished brick by brick.

An ogham stone is said to have been incorporated in the wall of the church at Milltown (LH022-014001-) (Gogarty 1907, 35). It was not noted when inspected by ASI in 1985 and there is no other record of it. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 9 August 2012
