• KE053-024 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  The site of the circular univallate enclosure noted on the 1st edition of the OS map is now marked only by a slight depression, c. 30m in diameter. Situated on a S facing slope, in good pastureland which is in the process of being improved. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 608. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013

• KE053-026 Fulacht fia
  Description

  This densely overgrown, horseshoe-shaped mound is located in a level, marshy field and is flanked to N and S by recent drains; the fill from these has been piled alongside the mound. It measures 9.25m E-W, c. 8m N-S, up to 1m in height and is chiefly composed of small burnt and fire-shattered stones. Immediately inside the open N end of the mound, at its W side, are 2 flat slabs resembling paving stones. An L-shaped pit, 2m x 1.5m x c. 1m deep, has been dug into the centre of the site and appears to be of fairly recent origin. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 239. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE053-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  This circular univallate ringfort is located on the E side of Dingle Harbour and has been trisected by field walls. The enclosing bank is only barely discernible and the enclosure measures c. 30m in external diameter. A souterrain (KE053-093----) was apparently found in either this fort or KE053-031---- or KE053-032---- (local information). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE053-031 Enclosure
  Description

  The circular univallate enclosure marked on the 1st edition of the OS map no longer survives. A souterrain was discovered in either this fort or KE053-030---- or KE053-032---- (local information). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 606.

• KE053-032 Enclosure
  Description

  The circular univallate enclosure marked on the 1st edition of the OS map is now only faintly discernible. The remains consist of a slight hollow, roughly 24m in diameter, enclosed by a very low bank. The site lies on a very gentle N facing slope on the E side of Dingle Harbour. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 607.

• KE053-033 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Ballintaggart church (KE053-033001-) (site of) and old burial ground (KE053-033002-) /An Cheallúnach or An Lisín: This circular enclosure crowns the summit of a low, but prominent, hillock between Dingle Harbour and Trabeg. The site of a church is shown within the enclosure on the OS maps, but nothing more is known about this, and no visible trace survives. Children were still being interred in the burial ground in the mid-19th century (OSNB Garfinny, 28). A low cairn of stones, including much quartz, lies c. 13m to E of the enclosure and 'other tombs with great unshapen stones half buried' lay a little to E of this again (OSL). The burial ground measures 30.7m N-S x 29.5m E-W internally and is enclosed by a low earthen bank, faced externally by a drystone-built wall. The bank rises a maximum of 1m above the interior, but is generally lower, and the wall is 1.45m high above the shallow fosse which encircles it. The fosse is c. 1m wide and no more than 0.3m deep below the external ground level. No entrance exists through the wall, and access to the interior is by means of 2 stiles at N and SW. On examination of earlier accounts of the site (OSL; OSNB; Romilly Allen 1892, 255-6), it seems certain that the site was originally enclosed by an earthen bank and fosse and that the wall was added sometime between the 1840's and the 1890's. The interior is raised above the external ground level and the central area is raised again above the edges giving the impression of a shallow internal fosse. Apart from the ogham stones (KE053-033005/014-), which were placed here in recent times, the interior is occupied by a confusion of low mounds and low upright grave markers. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 820.

• KE053-033001 Church
  Description

  Ballintaggart church (KE053-033001-) (site of) and old burial ground (KE053-033002-) /An Cheallúnach or An Lisín: This circular enclosure crowns the summit of a low, but prominent, hillock between Dingle Harbour and Trabeg.

Children were still being interred in the burial ground in the mid-19th century (OSNB Garfinny, 28). A low cairn of stones, including much quartz, lies c. 13m to E of the enclosure and 'other tombs with great unshapen stones half buried' lay a little to E of this again (OSL). The 'site of a building' mentioned elsewhere in the OSL probably refers to one or other of these latter features. Nine ogham stones have been collected from various locations in the vicinity of the site and are now arranged in a circle within the enclosure; no.9 lies apart in the approximate centre. Nos. 4 and 6 were first discovered in a field fence to S of the calluragh and nos. 5 and 9 also came from a field on this S side (Windele 1838, 80-81, 150-2, 159; 1848, 453-5). No.7 lay 'loose in a dyke near the ditch' (presumably that of the enclosure). Nos. 1 and 2 appear to have been located either at the cairn or the nearby 'tombs' (OSL) and the 3rd stone noted at this location was probably either no.3 or no. 8. All of the stones are oval water-rolled boulders similar to stones from the storm beach at Minard. Another rounded boulder within the enclosure apparently bore a small cross but no ogham inscription (Brash 1879, 205-6); this has not been located. One small round stone at the site has a small rectilinear depression in one surface; its function is not known but it has been suggested that it may have been a mould. The burial ground measures 30.7m N-S x 29.5m E-W internally and is enclosed by a low earthen bank, faced externally by a drystone-built wall.

The bank rises a maximum of 1m above the interior, but is generally lower, and the wall is 1.45m high above the shallow fosse which encircles it. The fosse is c. 1m wide and no more than .3m deep below the external ground level. No entrance exists through the wall, and access to the interior is by means of 2 stiles at N and SW. On examination of earlier accounts of the site (OSL; OSNB; Romilly Allen 1892, 255-6), it seems certain that the site was originally enclosed by an earthen bank and fosse and that the wall was added sometime between the 1840's and the 1890's. The interior is raised above the external ground level and the central area is raised again above the edges giving the impression of a shallow internal fosse. Apart from the ogham stones, which were placed here in recent times, the interior is occupied by a confusion of low mounds and low upright grave markers. (1) (KE053-033005-) Fig. 147b: This rounded boulder, with flattened upper and lower surfaces, is 1.05m long and, as on the other stones, the ogham inscription follows an imaginary stem-line along its sides. It reads: TRIA MAQA MAILAGNI CURCITTI The 1st notch of the 3rd I is not clear but was noted in several earlier accounts (Macalister 1945, 154-5; Brash, 204; Romilly Allen, 256). Macalister noted a difference in the technique of execution between the first 3 and 4th words, and suggested that two separate inscriptions were involved; this difference is not however particularly evident. The upper face of the stone bears an unusual cross motif. The ends of the side arms take the form of a trident or 3-pronged fork, the arms themselves forming the middle prong. A short cross-bar directly below the end of the upper arm gives the impression of a small cross here. The lower arm has a bifurcated terminal and a short detached groove continues the line of the arm between the 2 prongs. (2) (KE053-033006-) Fig. 147c: The flattened upper surface of this boulder, 1.1m long, bears a plain Latin cross and a natural fissure continues the line of its shaft down the centre of the stone. The ogham inscription reads: N(E)TTA-LAMINACCA KO(I) MAQQI MUCOI DO(VINIAS) The 1st E is no longer traceable but there is sufficient space for the relevant notches. The final notch of the 2nd I is also gone but was noted in earlier accounts. Only the first 2 letters of the final word are clear but Macalister (1945, 156-7) claimed that, apart from the vowels IA, it could be entirely deciphered. (3) (KE053-033007-) The inscription on this stone, .97m long, clearly reads: AKEVRITTI (4) (KE053-033008-) Fig. 147a: The flattened upper surface of this boulder, .99m long, bears a plain Greek cross and the ogham inscription reads: INISSIONAS (5) (KE053-033009-) Fig. 147d: The flattened upper surface of this boulder, 1.07m long, bears a plain Greek cross and the ogham inscription reads: MAQQI-IARI K(O)I MAQQI MUCCOI DOVVINIAS Only 5 of the vowel notches of the 3rd word are clear but Macalister (1945, 152) states that KOI is certainly the correct reading. (6) (KE053-033010-) The inscription on this boulder, .98m long, clearly reads: DOVETI MAQQI CATTINI (7) (KE053-033011-) A .9m long boulder bearing the inscription: SUVALLOS MAQ(QI) DUCOVAROS The last 2 scores of the Q and the 1st four of the I have broken away but their former presence is confirmed by earlier accounts. (8) (KE053-03312-) The inscription on this boulder, 1.03m long, reads: MAQI DECCEDA MAQI GLASICONAS The 3rd word can no longer be clearly traced but the reading is confirmed by Romilly Allen (1892, 260) and Macalister (1945, 154). (9) (KE053-033013-) This boulder, 1.2m long, is less regular and smooth than the others but is of the same rounded oval form. The ogham inscription is not clear and has been variously interpreted. The most likely readings are by Macalister (1945, 156) and O'Kelly (annotation to Macalister's Corpus) respectively: CUNAMAQQI AVI CORBBI CULI MAQQI AVI CORBI The above description is derived from J.

• KE053-033009 Ogham stone (present location)
  Description

  National Monument No. 64. Ballintaggart church (KE053-033001-) (site of) and old burial ground (KE053-033002-) /An Cheallúnach or An Lisín: This circular enclosure crowns the summit of a low, but prominent, hillock between Dingle Harbour and Trabeg. Nine ogham stones have been collected from various locations (not precisely located) in the vicinity of the site and are now arranged in a circle within the enclosure. The inscription on this boulder, 1.03m long, reads: MAQI DECCEDA MAQI GLASICONAS. The 3rd word can no longer be clearly traced but the reading is confirmed by Romilly Allen (1892, 260) and Macalister (1945, 154). (Cuppage 1986, no. 820, no. 6) This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

  Description

  National Monument No. 64. Ballintaggart church (KE053-033001-) (site of) and old burial ground (KE053-033002-) /An Cheallúnach or An Lisín: This circular enclosure crowns the summit of a low, but prominent, hillock between Dingle Harbour and Trabeg. Nine ogham stones have been collected from various locations (not precisely located) in the vicinity of the site and are now arranged in a circle within the enclosure. This rounded boulder, with flattened upper and lower surfaces, is 1.05m long and, as on the other stones, the ogham inscription follows an imaginary stem-line along its sides. It reads: TRIA MAQA MAILAGNI CURCITTI. Macalister noted a difference in the technique of execution between the first 3 and 4th words, and suggested that two separate inscriptions were involved; this difference is not however particularly evident. The upper face of the stone bears an unusual cross motif. The ends of the side arms take the form of a trident or 3-pronged fork, the arms themselves forming the middle prong. A short cross-bar directly below the end of the upper arm gives the impression of a small cross here.

• KE053-033012 Ogham stone (present location)
  Description

  National Monument No. 64. Ballintaggart church (KE053-033001-) (site of) and old burial ground (KE053-033002-) /An Cheallúnach or An Lisín: This circular enclosure crowns the summit of a low, but prominent, hillock between Dingle Harbour and Trabeg. Nine ogham stones have been collected from various locations (not precisely located) in the vicinity of the site and are now arranged in a circle within the enclosure. This boulder, 1.2m long, is less regular and smooth than the others but is of the same rounded oval form. The ogham inscription is not clear and has been variously interpreted. The most likely readings are by Macalister (1945, 156) and O'Kelly (annotation to Macalister's Corpus) respectively: CUNAMAQQI AVI CORBBI and CULI MAQQI AVI CORBI.

  Description

  National Monument No. 64. Ballintaggart church (KE053-033001-) (site of) and old burial ground (KE053-033002-) /An Cheallúnach or An Lisín: This circular enclosure crowns the summit of a low, but prominent, hillock between Dingle Harbour and Trabeg. Nine ogham stones have been collected from various locations (not precisely located) in the vicinity of the site and are now arranged in a circle within the enclosure. The flattened upper surface of this boulder, 1.1m long, bears a plain Latin cross and a natural fissure continues the line of its shaft down the centre of the stone. The ogham inscription reads: N(E)TTA-LAMINACCA KO(I) MAQQI MUCOI DO(VINIAS). The 1st E is no longer traceable but there is sufficient space for the relevant notches. The final notch of the 2nd I is also gone but was noted in earlier accounts. Only the first 2 letters of the final word are clear but Macalister (1945, 156-7) claimed that, apart from the vowels IA, it could be entirely deciphered.

• KE053-033014 Ogham stone
  Description

  Ballintaggart church (KE053-033001-) (site of) and old burial ground (KE053-033002-) /An Cheallúnach or An Lisín: This circular enclosure crowns the summit of a low, but prominent, hillock between Dingle Harbour and Trabeg (Cuppage 1986, no. 820). Macalister (1945, 151-7) recorded nine ogham stones collected together at the site. These 'mostly pulvinar' or oval water-rolled boulders resemble the stones found 'about 6 miles away' at Minard storm beach. Eight of the nine stones are now arranged in a circle within the stone enclosure with the ninth placed centrally. A tenth ogham stone was discovered in the 1980's but only protrudes 24cm above the ground (Devane 2001, 369). Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 31 December 2014

• KE053-034 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 29m. A roughly circular bivallate rath situated on the level marshy land that surrounds Trabeg. The outer fosse is 1.5m deep below the external ground level and 2.5m wide. The outer bank rises c. 2m above the outer fosse and 1m above the inner fosse. The latter is 5m wide. The inner bank rises c. 2m above the fosse and .75m above the interior, and its inner face has been seriously disturbed by rabbit burrows and badger setts. A 3rd outer bank, skirting the S part of the enclosure, is probably a later field fence. The entrance faces SE. In the interior, near the entrance, is what appears to be a well. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 304.
