• MA095-023002 Ogham stone
  Description

  Located in marram-grass covered dunes 120m E of the N end of Sruhir Strand. Burials (MA095-032001-) and a midden (MA095-032002-)are located 100m to W. Macalister (1945, 11, no.8) records a 'limestone slab', 1.32 (above ground) x 0.61 x 0.15m, bearing 'a cross pattée in a circle, pocked' on one face and 'a badly worn and weathered' ogham inscription on the 'sinister edge' (more than half spalled away). He very tentatively read ...OVI MAQI and was unable to verify Rhys's (1898, 232) suggestion of CORBAGNI. According to Kelly (1897, 185), who first noted the inscription, the stone was found lying flat but was re-erected where it was found, with more than half buried in the sand. His sketch with measurements indicates that at time the re-erected stone stood to a height of c. 1.67m above ground, and ogham inscription was visible the lower portion of the stone, now deeply sunken in the ground. An irregular-shaped, angular block of stone (H c. 1m; Wth 0.65m E-W; T 0.23m N-S) set upright in the ground, tilting to W. It bears a cross-in-circle (diam. 0.36m) on the broad S face and an ogham inscription on an angle of the narrow E face. The cross is created by inscribing arcs of a circle, the broadly splayed terminals of the arms and shaft merging with the curve of the enclosing circle. The base of the circle is now only a few centimeters above current ground level. The carving is partly obscured by blotches of lichen. Several scores of the ogham inscription are visible, cutting across the rather worn E angle of the stone, but the full inscription is no longer visible, much of it now concealed beneath the ground.

• MA095-033 Midden
  Description

  Located in the W face of sand dunes on Dooghmekeon Strand, at the S end of the area marked as ‘White Strand’ on the 1919 OS 6-inch map. A band of shells, within a sandy matrix, is visible in section in the eroding W face of the sand dune. It extends for c. 40m N-S, at a depth of c. 1m below the grass-covered top of the sand dune and c. 3-3.5m above the level of the beach. The midden is deepest (D c. 1m) towards the N end of its extent, where shell, stone, an animal tooth, and a possible stone wall were noted. Towards the S end of the midden, the concentration of shells lessens and layer gradually peters out. Shells, which had eroded out of the midden on to the beach, were identified as limpets and periwinkles. There is another midden (MA095-001----) c. 150m to S.
