What is recorded here

Seven cross-slabs marked Teampall Mhanacháin on the Lateevemore slopes, including one with expanded terminals and faint letters that now vanishes from memory. The temple still commands Dingle Harbour, but the stones themselves have scattered or been lost. What remains is a gap where carved faith once sat, leaving only the view and the shape of what 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. Cross-slabs: (7) The cross-slab recorded by Macalister (1949, 95) lay on the window sill in the oratory but is now missing. One face bore an equal-armed cross with expanded terminals, and the letters O/R/AR/TH were faintly traceable in the cantons. The back of the stone was inscribed with a plain equal-armed cross. 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
