The Wroxeter Stone is a stone unearthed at Wroxeter, England, in 1967. It bears an inscription in an Insular Celtic language, identified by the Celtic Inscribed Stones Project (CISP) at UCL as "partly-Latinized Primitive Irish".

Inscription

The text of the inscription reads: CVNORIX | MACVSM/A | QVICO[L]I[N]E

This is traditionally rendered into words as: CVNORIX MACVS MAQVI COLINE

Translation: Cunorix son of Maqui Coline, where Cunorix and Maqui Coline are personal names.
