The grave of Mary Dempsey in Aheny, County Tipperary. This is the last known vernacular use of Ogham in Ireland, in 1802. The grave bears a script in Irish, English and Ogham.
"Fa an lig so na lu ata Mari ni Dhimusa / o mballi na gCranibh” and translates as
'Beneath this stone lieth Mári Ní Dhíomasaigh from Ballycrann"

What does it mean, “the last vernacular use”
Is this a claim that Ogham was still in use at the start of the 19C for writing the Irish Language?
Has no person since used Ogham on a gravestone or in writings?
Undoubtedly, a Class 2 Relic.
