• KE043-224003 Castle - tower house
  Description

  The sale of a castle by the Knight of Kerry to Richard Trant in 1565 is recorded in contemporary documents (Cuppage 1986, 380). The castle known as Caisleán na bhFiach was situated at the N end of Main St, on the site of the 19th century Temperance Hall now the local library, but nothing is known of its history. Trant Castle described in the Urban Survey of Kerry (Bradley 1987, 64) as follows; 'In 1565 a castle in Dingle was sold to Richard Trant by the knight of Kerry (Cuppage 1986, 380). Known as Cais lean na bhFiach it stood at the north end of Main Street on the site occupied by the nineteenth century Temperance Hall, now housing the local library (Cuppage 1986, 380).

• KE043-224005 Church
  Description

  Situated on the E side of Main Street within the medieval walled town is the site of the 13th century parish church (Cal Docs Ire, V, 297) which was appropriated to the Augustinian priory of St. Mary's Killagh, near Castlemaine. The church was probably refurbished or rebuilt in the 15th/16th century, reputedly under Spanish patronage (Smith 1756, 177). According to McKenna (1979, 48), Dingle was one of the chief embarkation points for the great medieval pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James at Compostela and it is probably no coincidence then that the church was dedicated to St. James. By 1756, only a small section of the church was kept in repair, the remainder having gone to ruin (Smith, 177). In the graveyard, S of the church, many carved fragments of medieval date have been re-used as gravemarkers. These include 3 large sandstone dripstones and sections of a weathered eaves coping. Also carved from sandstone is section of a moulded arch with 3 receding chamfers, which probably formed part of a round-headed doorway. A 2nd arch fragment has a broad chamfered arris. Near the SW corner of the graveyard is section of a door jamb of 2 chamfered orders. The fragment is carved from limestone and has 16th century punch dressing on the reveal. Other chamfered blocks probably also date to the same period. The present Church of Ireland church was built on the site in 1807 and there are no visible remains of any earlier structure. A plain octagonal stone font which now stands in the modern edifice is traditionally associated with the medieval church. In the graveyard E of the church are 3 medieval tomb slabs; a 4th undated example may also belong to this period: (1) The FitzGerald Slab 1504: This trapezoidal tomb slab, carved from sandstone, is now broken into 2 sections. The stone bears 3 shields, the upper containing the arms of the Munster FitzGeralds: Ermine, a Saltire Gules, with a Boar and a Griffin for supporters. The 2nd shield contains a heart with the inscription HM.KT.H. and the lower shield bears a saltire between 3 objects resembling eagles heads (FitzGerald 1911, 391). At the narrow end of the slab is an incised Latin cross with the sacred monogram, INRI, above it and the inscription B.S.E.C.(S)A INDEOAOA beneath it. A marginal inscription on the sides of the stone reads: TRINITAS:INDIVIDUA.SALVA:NOS/.O.PATER. M.N.P.P.ET.I.N.AM.AMEN.1504.BEO.B.GAR/ DIE.LE.G. The final part of the inscription, after the date, is considered to be contracted Irish, meaning 'God be with Gearoid. May the FitzGeralds flourish' (McKenna 1979, 32). (2) The Rice Slab 1622: The surface of this trapezoidal tomb slab is now shattered and the inscription largely illegible. It is carved with a shield bearing arms, quarterly party per pale, engrailed in the 2nd and 3rd a lion rampant. The inscription was read by Smith (1756, 178-9) as: STEPHEN RICE LIES HERE, LATE KNIGHT OF PARLIAMENT, AN HAPPY LIFE/FULL FOURSCORE YEARS FULL VIRTUOUSLY HE SPENT. HIS LOYAL/ WIFE ELLEN TRANT, WHO DIED FIVE YEARS BEFORE HIM LIES HERE/ALSO. LORD GRANT THEM LIFE FOR EVER MORE/MDCXX11/HUIC FUCURRE TUIS VOTIS PIA MATER JESU/INSUPER ADDE TUAS LECTOR AMICE PRECES. (3) The Mullins Slab 1695: This slab now stands erect on the E side of the Lord Ventry sepulchral tomb. Trapezoidal in shape it bears the clearly legible inscription: HERE LYETH THE/BODY OF: FREDER/ICK MULLINS:SON/ AND:HEIRE: OF/FREDERICK. MUL/LINS: OF BURN/HAM: ESQUIR:W/HO:DECEASED/THE:22:DAY:OF/OCTOBER:AN/NO:DOM:1695/AND:THE:31/OF:HIS AGE. (4) This wedge-shaped slab is formed of 2 sections neatly jointed together. The upper surface of the stone is decorated with a raised rectangular pattern embodying a swastika motif and an interlaced curvilinear design. The monument is well preserved but appears to bear no dedication. In the rear garden of a house in Main Street are 3 carved stones, discovered during the construction of an outbuilding in the late 19th century: (1) An irregularly-shaped limestone slab, 1.37m long x .9m high and .09m thick, bordered on its upper edges by cable work in relief. A central panel on the face of the stone contains a design resembling lierne vaulting, executed in false relief. The slab undoubtedly formed section of a sepulchural monument; a tomb surround at Fertagh Church, Co. Kilkenny, which bears similar decoration, has been dated to the period 1510-1540 (Hunt 1974, 1, 167 and 2, pl.276). (2) Two fragments of a chamfered limestone arch, combined span 1.15m; a 3rd fragment discovered simultaneously is now missing (Buckley 1916-18, 261). The stones probably formed section of a round-headed doorway of medieval date. See attached photograph taken from Dunne 2019, 7. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage (compiler) 'Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.' Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 1011.

• KE043-224006 Graveyard
  Description

  St. James church and graveyard in Dingle described by Cuppage (1986, 380-83, no. 1011) as follows; 'Situated on the E side of Main Street within the medieval walled town is the site of the 13th century parish church [KE043-224005-] (Cal Docs Ire, V, 297) which was appropriated to the Augustinian priory of St. Mary's Killagh, near Castlemaine. The church was probably refurbished or rebuilt in the 15th/16th century, reputedly under Spanish patronage (Smith 1756, 177). According to McKenna (1979, 48), Dingle was one of the chief embarkation points for the great medieval pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James at Compostela and it is probably no coincidence then that the church was dedicated to St. James. By 1756, only a small section of the church was kept in repair, the remainder having gone to ruin (Smith, 177). In the graveyard, S of the church, many carved fragments of medieval date have been re-used as gravemarkers. These include 3 large sandstone dripstones and sections of a weathered eaves coping. Also carved from sandstone is section of a moulded arch with 3 receding chamfers, which probably formed part of a round-headed doorway. A 2nd arch fragment has a broad chamfered arris. Near the SW corner of the graveyard is section of a door jamb of 2 chamfered orders. The fragment is carved from limestone and has 16th century punch dressing on the reveal. Other chamfered blocks probably also date to the same period. The present Church of Ireland church was built on the site in 1807 and there are no visible remains of any earlier structure'. Church and graveyard described by Dunne (2011, 13) as follows; 'The Church and Graveyard of St. James is situated on the east side of Main Street (previously Middle Street), and encompasses over 2 acres of ground. There are no relict above ground remains of the medieval church although some of the original masonry, including a number of chamfered quoins, were reused to build the current early 19th century edifice. In the course of this survey seventy two medieval architectural fragments have also been reused as grave markers and also to construct above ground tombs. Prior to this survey twelve were known. The architectural fragments are mostly of local sandstone and include several flags from the eaves coping that were used to throw off the water from the side walls as well as several water spouts or dripstones . The flags from the eaves coping were much sought after as grave markers as the cross shaped slots cut into them to direct the water off the church now appeared as ready carved crosses. Several fragments of window masonry were also recovered including mullions, tracery from possibly a cusped ogee head and a twin light sill built into a tomb. A number of the limestone architectural fragments are most likely later, dating to the 15th century. Access into the graveyard is via a pair of wrought iron gates that are set between a pair of square ashlar pillars in general good order. The gates themselves are in good repair and recently painted. No separate pedestrian stile is provided for, nor is there any space for it. The gravelled driveway rises upslope between the neighbouring pub gables, the southern one of which is emblazoned with a huge inappropriate and kitsch shamrock. The accessway extends outwards to maximum width generally corresponding to the width of the church. The church is eccentrically situated on level ground on the north side of the graveyard and more or less beside a high boundary wall. The graveyard extending for almost 2 acres slopes to the south where it can be steep in places but slopes more gently to the east. A raised stone fronted area, that had been until recently completely overgrown, runs parallel to the north or left side of the accessway. The graveyard is bounded along its northern limits by a high rubble stone wall that most likely corresponds to the line of the original medieval town wall. The east boundary consists of a very overgrown rubble built wall varying in height and much cast down, breached and tumbled here and there and damaged by mature trees. The southern boundary wall of rubble sandstone construction is also much overgrown and dilapidated in places due to mature trees and scrub. It varies in height from a reduced low. level of 0.6m to 1.6m maximum with evidence of soldier capping surviving here and there. The west boundary of the graveyard corresponds to the rear of the buildings on the east side of Main Street extending from Ashe’s Pub at the SW to the Dingle Pub at the NW beside the entrance gate. Most of the original rubble stone wall along this boundary has been removed in the recent past and there appears to some evidence of possible encroachment by modern development insensitive extensions to the rear of these buildings. A small section of in situ walling survives mid-way along the boundary otherwise and in general there is no separation between the graveyard and Ashes Pub and the Dingle Pub. There are thirty-eight (38) tombs with names and inscriptions on them. The majority of them are simple rectangular box forms while others are similar haunched types. Forty-two (42) unnamed tombs were recorded. There are a massive one hundred and thirty nine (139) exposed lintelled graves in St. James’s Graveyard in Dingle. Lintelled graves, as the name suggest, comprise earth dug graves often lined or revetted with rubble sandstone that were sometimes rendered and covered over with local sandstone lintels. There were forty-seven named headstones (HNs) recorded at St. James’s Graveyard, of which only twelve have formal associated grave settings. The earliest recorded dates are 1700, inscribed with the initials M.M while the 1747 headstone is in memory of Rev. N. Moriarty. The most recent date is 1947 in memory of John O’Flaherty. Seventeen rectangular grave slabs, GRVS, defining burial areas were recorded. Six of the slabs have legible inscriptions while two others are illegible. The remaining nine are either partially exposed or have no inscriptions and information is therefore masked and unknown. The earliest slab dates to 1716 in memory of B. Stilwell. The earliest slab is known as the FitzGerald slab (MGRVS3) and dates to 1504. This slab has been broken in two parts since at least 1911 when it was first published (Fitzgerald 1911). The uninscribed decorated medieval slab, MGRVS2, lies on a low overgrown rectangular tomb, beside LG59. The slab is divided into two fields with a swastika motif carved in relief on the west field and an interlace motif on the east field. A corner of the swastika end has disappeared since it was recorded by Bradley in 1984. The inscribed and decorated MGRVS4 slab from 1622, known as the Rice Slab, was completely concealed and difficult to find in the course of this survey. It is in a shattered state with vegetation including ivy and tri-corn leek growing through it. Furthermore, it is a very low lying slab near another broken named tomb, TN26, as well as TN24 and TWN 34, and underneath the boughs of a very large mature tree that effectively inhibited quality photography. The east end of the slab contains the Rice-Trant heraldic shield while an elaborate inscription extends across the entirety of the slab and around the shield. The fourth slab, MGRVS 1, is vertically set in the east gable of the Ventry-Mullins mausoleum /tomb, TN11. This slab dates to 1695 and is more or less entirely inscribed across its face apart from a small panel at its base. A tiny heart pierced with two arrows is also carved on the upper right hand side. Seventy two medieval architectural fragments were recorded in the course of this survey of which approximately sixty were previously unrecorded. The fragments are dispersed around the graveyard although there is a couple of concentrations at the southern limits of the graveyard. Several of the fragments are reused as individual gravemarkers, (AF2, 15,18 etc) others are reused within tombs (A

• KE043-224009 Graveslab
  Description

  One of three medieval / post-medieval memorials in the graveyard to the E of the church (KE043-224005-). This record is for the Rice slab which is dated 1629. The Rice graveslab dated 1629 recorded by Fitzgerald (1911, 344-6) as follows; 'The Rice Slab, 1629. This slab lies almost level with the ground in the eastern portion of the burial-ground. It is in a fractured condition, but has been cemented together, not quite line for line. The lettering is in raised Roman capitals ; the first ten lines are in English, and the remaining eight in Latin. The inscription (full .of errors), taken from Smith's ''History of the County Kerry," is given on p. 401, Vol. I of the Journal, where the date 1629 is given as 1622, and the first half of the Latin portion of the inscription is omitted altogether. At the top of the slab is a coat-of-arms—Rice impaling Trant.' The inscription is in verse, and runs thus'": Stephen Rice, Esquier, lies here, Late Knight of Parliament, A happy lif for four score yeare, Full virtueously he spent. His loyall wif Ellin Trant, Who died five yeares before, Lies here also; Lord Jesus grant Them lif for evermore. The Latin portion of the inscription, according to Mr. J. R. Garstin, is in hexameters and pentameters; the notes he has kindly supplied on it are given further on. This portion of the inscription is evidently in Latin verse, consisting of two hexameters and two pentameters, though not written in four lines. The commencement is very puzzling, only the first word being clear, namely, the Christian name " Stephanus." Next comes a word which presumably is the Latin equivalent for the surname Rice, as found in the English portion, as given above. It must be a three-foot word. Then come letters ac e tro apparently, but not making sense. Could they be mistakes for Antiquo? That, though not scanning well, would make sense with the four words which come next. What follows them is puzzling. No suitable Latin word beginning with Ast (which itself equals "but") is to be found. If one word, it should be of four feet, like " astruvms," an imaginary word. What follows is clear. More light is needed to clear up this inscription.' Translation. 'It is impossible to give the English in full until the Latin is determined, but the sense is somewhat as follows 'Stephen [Rice] the senior of an ancient (?) race. It is fame will be enduring. Help him with your prayers Holy Mother and Jesus. Moreover, friendly reader, add your prayers'. 17th century graveslab described by Bradley (1987, 70) as follows; 'Stephen Rice and Ellen Trant. 1629. About, 14m SE of the SE corner of the church. In very poor condition. Trapezoidal . Decorated heraldic shield showing Rice, and Trant impaled. The inscription is now almost illegible: STEP[HEN] RICE: ESQUIER: LI/ES H[ER]E LATE KNIG[HT] OF / [PA]R[LIAM]ENT A HAPPY LIF/ [FOR FOUR] SCORE [YE]ARE/ [FULL VIRTU]OUSLY [HE] SPENT/HIS LOYAL WID ELLIN/ TRANT, WHO DIED FIV/ YEARES BEFORE LIES HERE/ ALLSO LORD IESUS GR/ANT THEM LIF FOR EVERMORE/ MDCXXII.

It concludes "Succour him with your prayers O Holy Mother and Jesus. Friendly reader add your prayers. . .died 1 February 1629". Dims : L. 194 W. 104-89 T 8 FitzGerald 1910-12, 344-6.
