What is recorded here

An Bhánóg Theas holds Lios na Ceallúnaí, an oval enclosure where a coffin-shaped stone once stood with two crosses carved into its skin. The place shifted from a rath or early church into a burial ground, suggesting people kept returning to mark death beside older life. That stone has vanished, but the enclosure remains large enough to imagine hands stacking stones and prayers moving across grass.

Lios na Ceallúnaí: This large oval enclosure (KE044-048----) was probably originally either a rath or early ecclesiastical settlement, but portion of it was later used as a calluragh burial ground (KE044-048001-)(OSNB Minard, 33; An Seabhac 1939, 176; Ashe 1954, 18). A coffin-shaped standing stone, inscribed with 2 crosses, formerly stood at the edge of the calluragh area (Ashe) but it could not be located on this occasion (KE044-048002-). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 348. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
