What is recorded here
An Baile Riabhach holds six cross-inscribed stones within Templemanaghan, including boulders marked with one to four equal-armed crosses and another bearing expanded terminals. The oratory sits on the lower eastern slopes of Lateevemore, commanding a magnificent view over Dingle Harbour and the Milltown valley. People may have chiseled those marks beside buried dead, using stone and shape to answer the vast harbour below.
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.
