• KE053-011 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Ballingolin Castle, which belonged to the Rice family, was forfeited and destroyed prior to 1641 (Smith 1756, 179). The confiscated property was purchased by Frederick Mullins in 1666 and renamed 'Burnham'. The Mullins family subsequently became the largest landowners on the peninsula and were elevated to the peerage in 1800 (McKenna 1979, 54), assuming the title 'Lord Ventry'. There was no trace of the castle in 1841 (OSL) and no visible remains survive today. The site lies at the W side of Dingle Harbour. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1000. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE053-012001 Ogham stone (present location)
  Description

  The original provenance of this stone is not recorded (see KE000-002----). It formed part of Lord Ventry's collection and now lies on the verge of the driveway leading to Coláiste Íde. It measures 1.06m long x c. 1.14m in circumference. Macalister (1945, 167-8, no. 175) read the inscription as: MAQQI-ERCCIA MAQQI MUCOI DOVINIA and noted that this stone resembles the Ballintaggart group. Many of the scores are extremely faint and only the last word can now be traced in full.

• KE053-012002 Cross-inscribed stone
  Description

  The original provenance of the small cross-inscribed stone which stands beside the ogham stone (KE053-012001-) is not known. The stone is .25m high and .27m wide and one face is inscribed with a double-barred cross with expanded terminals to head and arms. The base of the shaft is obscured by the bullaun stone or font which has been set in the ground in front of it. The provenance of the latter is also unknown. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage (compiler) 'Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.' Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 799.

• KE053-012004 Ogham stone (present location)
  Description

  This is the present location at Coláiste Íde of an ogham stone from Ballinrannig townland (KE042-057006-), site name Cillvickillane/Cill Mhic Uíleáin: A storm at the end of the 18th century exposed 7 ogham stones, a possible fragment of an 8th ogham stone, a cross-inscribed stone, a number of graves and quantities of bone, and the ruins of several houses (Windele 1838, 145). Windele's sketch of the site shows the ogham stones set out in a rough semi-circle on top of the mound with a slab-lined grave positioned nearby. Lord Ventry removed 6 of the ogham stones from the site in the mid-19th century; nos. 1 to 4 now line the driveway to Burnham House/Colaiste Íde (KE053-012004-, KE053-012005-, KE053-012006-, KE053-012007-), between Dingle and Ventry; nos. 5 and 6 are preserved in the grounds of Chute Hall (KE027-132----, KE027-241----) near Tralee and no. 7 remains at the original site (KE042-057003-). This stone stands 1.18m high and is c. 0.40m wide and 0.22m thick. An ogham inscription along the right angle of the S face reads: MAQQI CUNITTI. The inscription on the left angle reads:(M)A(Q)QI QETTI(A). The M is not now discernible but is recorded by Macalister (1945, 145, no. 149), Brash (1879, 209) and Ferguson (1887, 44). The first 2 scores of the first Q have all but disappeared, but most earlier accounts include them. After the final I there is a less distinct notch which may represent A; Macalister included this in 1897 but subsequently rejected it in 1945.

• KE053-012005 Ogham stone (present location)
  Description

  This is the present location at Coláiste Íde of an ogham stone from Ballinrannig townland (KE042-057007-), site name Cillvickillane/Cill Mhic Uíleáin: A storm at the end of the 18th century exposed 7 ogham stones, a possible fragment of an 8th ogham stone, a cross-inscribed stone, a number of graves and quantities of bone, and the ruins of several houses (Windele 1838, 145).

This stone stands 0.99m high and is c. 0.33m wide and 0.22m in depth. The inscription runs along both angles of the S face and reads (unusually, down dexter – up sinister): DUBONIRRAS MAQQI TENAC(I). The final 2 letters are damaged and Macalister (1945, 144-5, no. 148) stated that 'C is faint but traceable' and I is purely conjectural.

• KE053-012006 Ogham stone (present location)
  Description

  This is the present location at Coláiste Íde of an ogham stone from Ballinrannig townland (KE042-057008-), site name Cillvickillane/Cill Mhic Uíleáin: A storm at the end of the 18th century exposed 7 ogham stones, a possible fragment of an 8th ogham stone, a cross-inscribed stone, a number of graves and quantities of bone, and the ruins of several houses (Windele 1838, 145). Windele's sketch of the site shows the ogham stones set out in a rough semi-circle on top of the mound with a slab-lined grave positioned nearby. Lord Ventry removed 6 of the ogham stones from the site in the mid-19th century; nos. 1 to 4 now line the driveway to Burnham House/Colaiste Íde (KE053-012004-, KE053-012005-, KE053-012006-, KE053-012007-), between Dingle and Ventry; nos. 5 and 6 are preserved in the grounds of Chute Hall (KE027-132----, KE027-241----) near Tralee and no. 7 remains at the original site (KE042-057003-). This stone stands 1.16m high and is c. 0.34m wide and 0.14m thick. The reading of the full inscription is uncertain and only the following letters survive: ( )NAVICAS MAQI MUCO(I) ( )S. The scores preceding the N are extremely faint; O'Kelly (annotation to personal copy of Macalister's Corpus) and Windele (1848, 448) interpreted these as OD, whereas Macalister (1945, 146-7, no. 150) read G followed by R instead of N. The final word, occupying the diametrically opposed angle of the stone, is represented by only a single letter. Macalister supplied the name DOVVINIAS here but no earlier accounts allude to this and it may have been a conjectural restoration.

  Description

  This is the present location at Coláiste Íde of an ogham stone from Ballinrannig townland (KE042-057009-), site name Cillvickillane/Cill Mhic Uíleáin: A storm at the end of the 18th century exposed 7 ogham stones, a possible fragment of an 8th ogham stone, a cross-inscribed stone, a number of graves and quantities of bone, and the ruins of several houses (Windele 1838, 145).

A stone measuring 1.82m high, 0.26m wide and 0.25m thick bears the inscription: BROINIONAS.

• KE053-012008 Bullaun stone
  Description

  Bullaun stone described by Cuppage (1986, 254) as follows; 'The original provenance of the bullaun stone which stands beside a cross (KE053-012002-) is not known. The base of the shaft is obscured by the bullaun stone or font which has been set in the ground in front of it. The provenance of the latter is also unknown'.

• KE053-012009 Ogham stone (present location)
  Description

  When first discovered in 1790, this ogham stone stood upright in the middle of Ballineesteenig village (Pelham 1804, 185) – see KE043-248----. It was later broken in two, and the pieces served various purposes around the farm prior to their removal to Burnham House (Coláiste Íde), where they remain today. It is a long rounded boulder, 1.98m long and 1m in circumference. The inscription reads: MOINENA MAQI OLACON (Macalister 1949, 142-4, No. 147). The fracture across the middle of the stone removed two of the E scores but otherwise the inscription is clearly legible. A small Latin cross is inscribed on the opposite side of the stone.
