- KE043-224026 Bullaun stone
Description
The Holy Stone: Now lying on the road side at the top of Main Street in Dingle Town. This is a large, irregularly-shaped boulder, measuring 3.48m long x from .87 to .75m wide, with 7 large circular or oval cup-marks or basin-like depressions on its upper surface. The 2 smallest depressions are .08 to .12m in diameter and about .02 to .03m deep. The remainder range from .16 to .28m in diameter and from .5 to .13m deep. A channel runs to the edge of the stone from two of the depressions. One of the traditions surrounding the stone connects it with the catholic church which stood in nearby Chapel Lane from 1702 to 1812; the depressions were used for holding holy water (McKenna 1979, 2-3). Rounds were also reputedly made at the stone (OSNB Dingle, book 2, 23). Another tradition is that it once formed part of the complex of standing stones and rock art at Milltown (KE043-213----) (Macalister 1898b, 164). To see a 3D model of this monument, visit; https://skfb.ly/6UQWB The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

- KE043-224035 Architectural fragment
Description
In the wall of a house on the W side of Green St. is a plaque (0.42m x 0.42m) featuring a large bird, possibly an eagle, clutching a small bird whilst a 3rd hovers in the background. Architectural fragments described in the Urban Survey of Kerry (Bradley 1987, 65) as follows; Two houses in Green Street have wall plaques which may be of seventeenth century date. (1) The gable of 'Gifts' has two plaques. The upper stone is circular (diam. 22 cm) with an interlaced design of six loops in relief; the lower one is square and has a pair of opposed birds on a perch within a raised border (H. 22 W.22). (2) On a house opposite Gifts' and adjacent to ' Hands Accomodation' is a plaque with a large bird holding a smaller bird in its claw, and a third bird flying above. An M and three dots are placed above the design (H. 42 W. 42 cm)'. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage et al., 'Archaeological Survey of the Dingle Peninsula.'
