Overview

The CISP database includes every non-Runic inscription raised on a stone monument within Celtic-speaking areas (Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Dumnonia, Brittany and the Isle of Man) in the early middle ages (AD 400-1000). There are over 1,200 such inscriptions.

Information on the stones has been broken down into three main types - SITE, STONE, and INSCRIPTION.

  • SITE: Includes information on the physical character and/or history of the site.
  • STONE: Includes information on discovery, location, condition, size, form and decoration.
  • INSCRIPTION: Includes information on legibility, position, script, linguistics and readings.

Within each of these you can find bibliographic references that are linked to the bibliography. Links to images of many of the stones can be also be found within the INSCRIPTION pages.
