What is recorded here
Ten metres north of the white temple, a large boulder lies on the lower slopes of Lateevemore, facing Dingle Harbour. Its west face carries a small Latin cross and another cross trapped inside an irregular circle. The stone has watched the valley through centuries of rain and memory, marking death and prayer in the same breath.
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.

A small Latin cross and a Latin cross within an irregular circle are inscribed on its W face; the terminals of the latter are slightly expanded.
