History

Castletimon Ogham Stone was carved c. AD 350–550, and was rediscovered in 1854.

Local legend claims that the Ogham stone was once picked up by the Castletimon Giant and thrown down the hill; the scratches on it were left by his finger nails. Another says that a local man took the Ogham stone to use as a hob stone. The Aos Sí (fairies) got angry and made his cutlery dance and jiggle. After a week of this he returned the stone to its place.[3]
