Sneem Ogham Tree Trail
The Ogham Tree Trail seeks to increase awareness and appreciation of the importance of our native trees and their connection with the Ancient Ogham alphabet and Brehon Laws. The Ogham alphabet was deciphered by local Bishop Charles Graves (of Parknasilla, Sneem) in the 19th century. Bishop Graves also played a key role in promoting understanding of the Brehon Laws. The connection with Bishop Graves will also be exploited and used to promote the connection of the Ogham alphabet and the Brehon Laws to Sneem and the surrounding areas.
The Ogham alphabet is linked to a range of Native Irish Trees. We seek to create a sculpture for each tree using found wood from the tree and incorporating an Ogham letter in iron along with carved/wrought iron seeds and leaves. Each sculpture will have a sign giving the origins of the Ogham letter and the importance in which the tree was held in Brehon Law. The sculptures will be erected close to the living trees. Where possible, we will select veteran trees.
