What is recorded here

Templemanaghan stands on the lower slopes of Lateevemore, overlooking Dingle Harbour, where six cross-slabs mark a burial ground older than memory. Four boulders in the oratory wall bear simple equal-armed crosses, while a fifth displays expanded terminals, suggesting a craftsman who understood both restraint and flourish. The stones do not explain themselves; they wait for hands to touch them and eyes to search for meaning in the chisel marks.

Templemanaghan/Teampall Mhanacháin or Teampall Geal 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. Cross-slabs: (6) Fig. 151d g, h and i (KE043-140013-, KE043-140014- & KE043-140015-) Three boulders in the inner wall-face of the oratory are inscribed respectively with 4, 2 and 1 simple equal-armed crosses and a 4th (KE043-140016-) bears an equal-armed cross with expanded terminals. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 824.
