What is recorded here
Killiney church and Graveyard/Cill Éinne (Cill Aighne/the church of Aighne): This site lies in the village of Killiney at the base of the Magharees peninsula. The present large rectangular graveyard may enclose the site of an Early Christian foundation (KE036-003003-).
Font (KE036-003006-): The surviving fragment represents about half of the lower portion of an octagonal basin. The sloping sides have for the most part been broken away. The central hourglass-shaped perforation is from 0.05 to 0.03m in diameter.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 854. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
