• KE054-030 Hut site
  Description

  A hut foundation, the wall reduced to a stone and earth bank with upright slabs defining inner face and entrance. Incorrectly classed by OS as a stone circle. D: 3.9 x 5.5m. H: .6m. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1013.

• KE054-032001 Church
  Description

  Aglish church (KE054-032001-) and graveyard (KE054-032002-): The parish church of Minard is mentioned in the Papal Taxation List (1302-1307) for the diocese of Ardfert (Cal Docs Ire, V, 297) and in 1633 was under the patronage of the Earl of Orrery (TCD Ms 2158, 37). The foundations of a church were formerly visible in the rectangular graveyard at Aglish but local tradition maintains that this church was of mid-17th century date and had previously been located elsewhere (Windele 1848, 465-6). It is possible that Kilmurry (KE054-061----) was the original parish church and that it was removed to Aglish subsequent to the destruction of nearby Minard castle (KE054-063----) in 1650. However, Hickson (1888, 446) suggests the opposite, that the 13th century parish church stood at Aglish and that Kilmurry was erected after 1307 'when Aglish had fallen to decay, or became too small for the district'. No visible trace of the church at Aglish now survives. A cross-inscribed ogham stone, now in the NMI, was removed from the site in the mid-19th century and a 2nd ogham stone remains standing beside one of the tombs. (1) (KE054-032003-) One face of this stone bears a Maltese cross within a circle, beneath which is a spear-or arrow-like motif flanked on either side by a swastika. Two very faint circular marks were noted by Macalister (1945, 137) below the stem of the arrow but these are not now evident. The ogham inscription, inverted with respect to the cross, occupies both angles of the same face. Part of the inscription is now missing and the remainder was read by Macalister as: MAQI MAQ(I....O)GGODIKA (2) (KE054-032004-) This stone measures .9m in height x .25m in width. The ogham inscription which occupies the NW angle was read by Macalister (1945, 138) as: CELI AVI VU... The first 2 letters are unclear. Macalister also noted some ogham scores on the NE angle but these are no longer discernible. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 810. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. In 2010 a graveyard survey carried out by Laurence Dunne recorded the following details: 'Aglish-eaglais-church is a small grass covered graveyard situated on sharply sloping south facing hillside at 100mOD near Minard, 8km west of Anascaul and 11.5km east of Dingle on a minor third class road off the N86. Aglish on its south facing sloping site has spectacular views of Dingle Bay and the Iveragh Peninsula although somewhat restricted by mature sycamore trees along its southern and eastern limits. Aglish graveyard is a protected site, recorded in the Record of Monuments and Places (RMP) and classified as: Ecclesiastical Remains KE054-032; Church KE054-032001; graveyard KE054-032002 and ogham stone KE054-032003. No vestige of the church survives above ground today and it is not denoted on the 1st or 2nd Edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map, sheet 54 of 1841 and 1896' (Dunne 2010, 1-3).

Aglish on its south facing sloping site has spectacular views of Dingle Bay and the Iveragh Peninsula although somewhat restricted by mature sycamore trees along its southern and eastern limits. The graveyard is significantly raised above the roadside creating a more gently sloping interior. The origins of the ecclesiastic site at Aglish however, are much earlier and date to the Early Medieval period as two ogham stones are recorded from there. Today only one is in situ. while the second 5th- 6th century cross-inscribed ogham stone was removed for some unknown reason to the National Museum of Ireland where it is currently on display. In the course of this survey a cross-slab was also recorded. Aglish Graveyard is little used today and has only three modern formalised grave settings. The majority of interments are placed in above ground tombs, seventy six of which were recorded in the course of this survey. Apart from tombs there are thirty six unnamed graves at Aglish denoted by simple unhewn headstones disposed about the centre of the graveyard in particular. Aglish graveyard is bounded on three sides (north, east and south) by a low dry stone wall. The entrance to Aglish is through a pair of modern galvanised gates that are set between two square, capped and rendered piers. Twenty nine named tombs were recorded in varying states of preservation some of which are now manifest as grass covered mounds. Forty-seven unnamed tombs were recorded in various states of preservation. Only four 20th century inscribed headstones (HN, Nos. 287, 373, 389 and 390) were recorded in Aglish graveyard associated with formal grave settings. There were thirty-six unnamed headstones (HWN) in total recorded in the course of this survey. All of the unnamed headstones are simple grave markers of unhewn local sandstone. These unhewn headstones are disposed around the centre of the graveyard and are impossible to date without excavation. A previously unrecorded cross inscribed grave stone was recorded in Aglish Grave yard. The small, white lichen covered rectangular grave marker is lightly incised with an equal armed cross. An ogham stone (391) is situated beside tomb 202. A second 5th - 6th century Maltese cross inscribed ogham stone was removed from Aglish Graveyard to the NMI' (Dunne 2010, 2-8).

• KE054-032003 Ogham stone
  Description

  ‘A cross-inscribed ogham stone, now in the NMI [DU018-399----], was removed from the site in the mid-19th century and a 2nd ogham stone (KE054-032004-) remains standing beside one of the tombs. One face of this stone bears a Maltese cross within a circle, beneath which is a spear-or arrow-like motif flanked on either side by a swastika. Two very faint circular marks were noted by Macalister (1945, 137, no. 141) below the stem of the arrow but these are not now evident. The ogham inscription, inverted with respect to the cross, occupies both angles of the same face. Part of the inscription is now missing and the remainder was read by Macalister as: MAQI MAQ(I....O)GGODIKA’.

• KE054-032004 Ogham stone
  Description

  Aglish church (KE054-032001-) and graveyard (KE054-032002-): A cross-inscribed ogham stone [ke054-032003-], now in the NMI, was removed from the site in the mid-19th century and this 2nd ogham stone remains standing beside one of the tombs. This stone measures 0.9m in height x 0.25m in width. The ogham inscription which occupies the NW angle was read by Macalister (1945, 138, no. 142) as: CELI AVI VU... None of the vowels of Macalister's reading are clear. The single score on the H-side at the end of the inscription where the stone is broken, could be the first score of a D, T, C or Q. Macalister also noted some ogham scores on the NE angle but these are no longer discernible.

• KE054-039 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a fairly steep S facing slope overlooking Minard and Dingle Bay, this site consists of a semi-circular platform raised a maximum of 2.3m above the external ground level on the downslope side. A NW-SE field fence, which formerly bounded the site to SW (2nd edition OS map), is now reduced to a low stony bank. At present the straight N side of the site is delimited by a low stony bank, possibly also a disused field fence, and traces of a 2nd bank run parallel to this, about 6.5m further S. The platform is c. 33.1m in diameter E-W and may represent the last remnant of a formerly circular ringfort. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 591. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE054-040 Bullaun stone
  Description

  This is a large, rough boulder, measuring 2.7m x 1.5m x .5m high, with a circular depression located fairly centrally at the E end of its upper surface. The latter is almost conical in section and measures .43 m in diameter and .33m in depth. Lying within the depression is a small oval stone, possibly a pestle. The bullaun stone is known locally as Carraig an Aifrinn and was reputedly a mass rock. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

• KE054-051 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 31m. A circular univallate rath situated on a slight SSW facing slope. The fosse is 1m deep below the external ground level, 3 to 4m wide and 1.5m deep below the crest of the bank; it is no longer traceable along the SE sector. The bank is a maximum of 2m high externally and 1m high internally. Parts of its inner flank are faced with drystone masonry. The stone facing visible on its outer flank at ENE probably relates to the field fence which formerly skirted the site at this point (2nd edition OS map). The entrance gap faces ESE. The low mound which occurs in the field outside the entrance may consist of field clearance debris. The SW part of the interior is occupied by the foundations of a drystone-built rectangular house measuring 7.3m E-W x 2.2m N-S; the walls are now c. 0.75m high. Another possible structure abuts the bank at N, one side formed by the ringfort bank, the other by a low stone wall 12.7m long E-W. The internal area thus defined is c. 2.3m wide and there are traces of an internal division at its mid-point. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 286. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
