Lunnasting stone
The Lunnasting stone is a stone bearing an ogham inscription, found at Lunnasting, Shetland and donated to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland in 1876.
==Discovery==
It was found by Rev. J.C. Roger in a cottage, who stated that the stone had been unearthed from a "moss" (i.e. a peat bog) in April 1876, having been originally discovered five feet (1.5 m) below the surface.〔("LTING/1" ) University College London, quoting Forsyth, K. (1996) "The Ogham Inscriptions of Scotland: An Edited Corpus". Unpublished PhD. Harvard University. Retrieved 12 July 2009.〕
The stone is made of slate and is long, by about in breadth and thick with the inscription on the flat surface. In addition to the ogham letters which are arranged down a centre line, there is a small cruciform mark near the top of the stone, which may be a runic letter or a Christian cross. It is unknown whether this mark and the ogham are contemporary, or whether the former was later added to a pre-existing standing stone.〔〔Goudie, Gilbert (11 December 1876) ("On Two Monumental Stones with Ogham Inscriptions Recently Discovered in Shetland" ) (pdf) ''Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland''. 12 pp. 20–32.
