Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Back of a red sandstone pillar stone with inscriptions in Latin and Ogham, originally from Fardel Farm, Cornwood, Devon, and now held at the British Museum [1861,0209.1]. Discovered by Rev. Samuel Pearse of Cadleigh, who as a boy in the late 18th century had noticed the inscribed stone in use as a part of a culvert over the Fardel Brook crossing the road between Ivybridge and Fardel. In about 1860 Pearse had the stone removed to the farmyard at Fardel, and in 1861 the farm's owner, Captain Pode, donated the stone to the British Museum. 1.68 × 0.87 × 0.25 m. 5th to 8th century. Inscribed vertically FANONI MAQVIRINI ("Of Fanonus, son of Rinus") on the face of one side, and inscribed vertically SAGRANVI ("Of Sagranuus") on the face of the other side. Ogham inscription reading SFAQQUCI ᚄᚃᚐᚊᚊᚒᚉᚔ (mistake for SAFAQQUCI) running up the left edge, and MAQIQICI ᚋᚐᚊᚔᚊᚔᚉᚔ running up the right edge, meaning "Of Safaqqucus, son of Qicus". The Ogham inscriptions are possibly two independent inscriptions, SAFAQQUCI ("Of Safaqqucus") and MAQIQICI ("Of Maqiqicus" or "Of the son of Qicus"). CISP: FARDL/1
