Recorded monuments

• KE042-098 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Lisheen/Lisín: Situated on the E slopes of Croaghmarhin overlooking the broad, low-lying crescent of land that surrounds Smerwick Harbour. It was described in the OSNB (Marhin, 27) as a 'small, circular fort', but the present remains consist of a rectangular, densely-overgrown mound of stones, 15m x 15.5m. This is located on a fairly steep slope, but a more likely site for the ringfort is a level shoulder of the hill directly upslope of the mound. It is possible that the monument was levelled downhill and that the mound contains the resulting debris. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 600. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE042-099 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  This ringfort was described in the OSNB (Marhin, 18) as circular with a 'ruined old fence about it composed of stones and earth'. It was about 1.5 chains (30.17m) in diameter. The depiction on the 2nd edition of the OS map shows that the S half had been removed and replaced by a field wall which preserved the curved outline of the enclosure. The entire site has now been levelled and some of the material is probably incorporated into the earthen bank which forms the boundary of a garden directly adjacent to the ringfort. It was situated at the foot of the E slopes of Croaghmarhin, on the broad, low-lying crescent of land that surrounds Smerwick Harbour. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 599.

• KE042-103001 Church
  Description

  Ballywiheen Church/Teampall Bhaile Bhoithín: The remains of a simple rectangular church are situated in a graveyard KE042-103002- near the foot of the E slopes of Croagh Marhin. The site is known locally by the name of the adjacent townland of Ballywiheen and was probably the parish church of Marhin which was in repair in 1615 (Royal Visitation). The graveyard contains several cross-inscribed grave-markers (KE042-103004-/011-), and a stone font (KE042-103----) lies inside the church (KE042-103001-). Reilig an Draghbháil, a calluragh burial ground (KE042-102----), lies about 75m to SW in Ballywiheen townland. The church measures 11.62m x 4.6m internally and the walls, which survive almost to full height, are built of small split stones, widely-jointed and set in a loose clay mortar. Extensive burials both within and in the immediate vicinity of the church have resulted in a substantial rise in ground level and much distortion of the walls. The E gable, 3.9m high, retains some of its coping. The central, rectangular light has a double splay and lintelled rear arch. Viewed externally the ope inclines in elevation and a projecting hood stone (now broken) is flanked by 2 putlog holes. The lower jambs of the window consist of flat uprights of thin section inserted between the inner and outer splay and rebated internally for a shutter. There are 2 similar windows at the E end of the N and S walls; a 3rd, near the W end of the S wall, has been partially blocked by a tomb which abuts the external wall face. Two small aumbries in the SE corner of the church are now almost obscured by burials. The lintelled doorway in the N wall retains a pivot hole and draw bar socket for the door, but the ingoings are now displaced. Two beam holes in the S wall, a corresponding beam hole in the N wall, and a broken corbel on the W gable indicate an attic storey at the W end of the church. Entry was probably gained from the interior, and the chamber was lit by a narrow, double-splayed, rectangular ope, 0.53 x 0.15m. The lopsided W gable is 2.7m high but may be partially rebuilt. In 2007 a graveyard survey carried out by Karen Buckley and Laurence Dunne recorded the following details about Ballywiheen church; 'Ballywiheen church and graveyard is located within the townland of Ballineanig Churchquarter, c.1km southeast of Ballyferriter village on the Dingle Peninsula. The graveyard is situated on the lower eastern slopes of Ballineanig Hill set back c.200m from a sweeping bend of the Ventry to Ballyferriter road. There are extensive views from the graveyard with Smerwick Harbour visible to the north while to the west-southwest, Cruach Mhárthain can be seen. The ruined church is located centrally within the graveyard and there is an obvious bias of more recent, modern graves to its north and older graves to its south. The church is constructed with small split rubble sandstones with flatter stones used at the corners and bedded in a mud/clay bonding. The upper levels of the walls are overrun with grass and the church interior and the graves located within are heavily overgrown with grass and brambles. Access into the church is very difficult as a partially open tomb is constructed across the interior of the doorway. Furthermore other deep partially open tombs are located within the interior. The cross slab recorded by the Dingle Survey is now standing loosely with the east window embrasure. There is no sign of the font fragments also recorded in the Dingle Survey (ibid) however, this may be due to the overgrown nature of the interior' (Buckley and Dunne 2007, 2-8).

• KE042-103002 Graveyard
  Description

  Ballywiheen Church/Teampall Bhaile Bhoithín: The remains of a simple rectangular church are situated in a graveyard KE042-103002- near the foot of the E slopes of Croagh Marhin. The site is known locally by the name of the adjacent townland of Ballywiheen and was probably the parish church of Marhin which was in repair in 1615 (Royal Visitation). The graveyard contains several cross-inscribed grave-markers (KE042-103004-/011-), and a stone font (KE042-103----) lies inside the church (KE042-103001-). Reilig an Draghbháil, a calluragh burial ground (KE042-102----), lies about 75m to SW in Ballywiheen townland. In 2007 a graveyard survey carried out by Karen Buckley and Laurence Dunne recorded the following details about Ballywiheen graveyard; 'Ballywiheen church [KE042-103001-] and graveyard is located within the townland of Ballineanig Churchquarter, c.1km southeast of Ballyferriter village on the Dingle Peninsula. The graveyard is situated on the lower eastern slopes of Ballineanig Hill set back c.200m from a sweeping bend of the Ventry to Ballyferriter road. There are extensive views from the graveyard with Smerwick Harbour visible to the north while to the west-southwest, Cruach Mhárthain can be seen. The ruined church is located centrally within the graveyard and there is an obvious bias of more recent, modern graves to its north and older graves to its south. The cross slab recorded by the Dingle Survey is now standing loosely with the east window embrasure. There is no sign of the font fragments also recorded in the Dingle Survey (ibid) however, this may be due to the overgrown nature of the interior. The graveyard is bounded by low drystone walls of local sandstone with additional sheep-wire fencing. Flat sandstone capping slabs are laid across the top of the wall. The wall varies in height but is, in general, 1.1m high and a thickness of 0.75m. Some concrete is set between the capping slabs and other joints at intervals. The roadside entrance to the graveyard grounds is comprised of a pair of modern galvanised gates set between two square concrete capped piers. Two named tombs were recorded within the graveyard and vary in condition. Tomb (ref. no. 76) is in good repair with the earliest internment dated to 1869 when Mary Kennedy of Clounties died on 16th May aged 25. Twelve unnamed tombs were recorded in various states of preservation. Five tombs are in a partially collapsed condition. Six are partly or completely grassed over and are recognisable as rectangular mounds with the construct of the remaining two tombs in relatively good condition. Thirty-four inscribed headstones were recorded within the graveyard. Thirty-eight unnamed headstones were recorded within the graveyard. The unnamed graves are composed of 18th and 19th century headstones. Twenty-four unnamed gravemarkers were recorded. Unnamed headstones are grouped together with the unnamed gravemarkers on the plan of the graveyard. The unhewn sandstone grave-markers are identifiable as a rubble stone or roughly rectangular stone completely devoid of any inscription or decoration. They are generally low set and rise above the ground surface for an average 0.3m. Occasionally, a distinguishing feature of these stones is a semi-circular concave depression cut or spall notched into the top of the stone. Eight cross-inscribed slabs (KE042-103004-/011-) are recorded within the graveyard and are described in detail in The Archaeological Survey of the Dingle Peninsula (Cuppage et al 1986). Five of the eight slabs denote one end of a grave. The remaining three are situated in the vicinity of the ruined church' (Buckley and Dunne 2007, 2-6).

• KE042-103003 Font
  Description

  Ballywiheen Church/Teampall Bhaile Bhoithín: A stone font lies inside the church (KE042-103001-). Font: A roughly circular, flat-bottomed stone basin with a central perforation in its base. It is 0.25m deep and a maximum of 0.25m in diameter internally. A 2nd, roughly circular, flat-bottomed basin, now damaged, is 0.38m in diameter but only 0.8m deep internally. It, too, is perforated through the base and it seems likely that the 1st basin was intended to sit inside the 2nd basin and that both probably rested on a pedestal. In 2007 a graveyard survey carried out by Karen Buckley and Laurence Dunne recorded the following details about the font inside Ballywiheen church; 'Ballywiheen church and graveyard is located within the townland of Ballineanig Churchquarter, c.1km southeast of Ballyferriter village on the Dingle Peninsula. The graveyard is situated on the lower eastern slopes of Ballineanig Hill set back c.200m from a sweeping bend of the Ventry to Ballyferriter road.

• KE042-103004 Cross-inscribed stone
  Description

  Ballywiheen Church/Teampall Bhaile Bhoithín: The remains of a simple rectangular church (KE042-103001-) are situated in a graveyard (KE042-103002-) near the foot of the E slopes of Croagh Marhin. Cross-inscribed Stones (KE042-103004-/011-): (1) A sandstone slab measuring 0.85m in height, 0.22 to 0.36m in width and 0.1m in thickness. A simple inscribed cross occupies the upper portion of both faces. The arms of one cross appear to have slightly expanded terminals but the stone is very weathered and these expansions could be the result of spalling. In 2007 a graveyard survey carried out by Karen Buckley and Laurence Dunne recorded the following details about the cross-slab inside Ballywiheen church; 'Ballywiheen church and graveyard is located within the townland of Ballineanig Churchquarter, c.1km southeast of Ballyferriter village on the Dingle Peninsula.
