What is recorded here

Unknown Townland, County Dublin, Ireland, holds a broken Ogham stone, one of three found at Cill Tire, Dromore, County Wateford. Macalister excavated the burial ground in 1935 and first read RITUVVAS before revising the name to CATTUVIR. The brittle slate may have marked a person, a family or a forgotten claim, while its four scattered pieces still preserve the shape of that lost voice.

This stone (1.42m x 0.30m x 0.28m) of coarse-grained slate and very brittle, is broken into four pieces and was found by Macalister (1935b, 12) during the excavation of Cill Tire burial ground, Dromore, Co. Wateford (WA029-042002-). It is one of three stones found at the site (see WA029-042003-, WA029-042006-, WA029-042010-). The inscription was initially read by him as RITUVVAS: he subsequently revised this as CATTUVIR (1945, vol. 1, 264, no. 268). This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.
