Architectural fragment in An Baile Riabhach

Architectural fragment

What is recorded here

An unknown building once stood where Templemanaghan now keeps its stones, facing Dingle Harbour and the Milltown valley. Its purpose has faded, but the name and buried ground suggest people still came to pray, remember or belong. The fragment preserves only a small part of that lost structure, yet it still points to the size and shape of the place that disappeared.
Templemanaghan/Teampall Mhanacháin or Teampall Geal (KE043-140001-) and its associated burial ground lie on the lower E slopes of Lateevemore and command a magnificent view over Dingle Harbour and the Milltown valley. Miscellaneous fragments: A stone fragment on the floor of the oratory is inscribed with 2 parallel grooves, .55m apart, which extend the full length, 1.37m, of the stone. Other markings on its surface may be natural. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 824. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 8 August 2013
