| Kirk Arbory Ogams |
These two Ogam stones came from the Bemaken Friary in Arbory. The stone on the left was built into a wall at the Friary. It stands approximately four feet five inches high, one foot wide and six = inches in thickness.
The inscription runs up the right angle of the stone but some of the Ogams have worn away. The right hand stone, also from a wall in the Friary, is a small granite boulder, approximately seventeen inches high, sixteen inches in width and eight inches in thickness. The inscription is cut around the edge and is again very worn.
These stones are some of the earliest monuments on the Island and are probably Christian. Similar stones have been found around burial sites in the South of the Island, as well as two in Kirk Michael and one in Maughold.
