What is recorded here
Four cross-slabs survive at Templemanaghan, one broken and lying flat inside the old oratory. The largest measures half a metre across, bears a double-barred Latin cross, and faces the harbour light. Dead people were laid near that stone, perhaps watching Dingle water through no wall at all.
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: (4) Fig. 151e Lying on the floor of the oratory, this cross-slab, now broken at the base, measures .5m in length, .33m in width and .1m in thickness. Its upper surface is inscribed with a double-barred Latin 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.
