Bemaken Friary Ogham Stone (Manx Cross 4)

3D Model

This rounded granite boulder was found at Bemaken Friary (PRN 0011). Its precise findspot is unknown, but a local tradition reports that it was found in a field bank on the boundary between the Friary and the neighbouring farm of Ballaclague lying to the north-west. The stone bears a simple ogham inscription which spells the name, ‘Macleog’, from which the modern Manx surname ‘Clague’ is derived. The stone is now displayed at the Manx Museum.
