Ballynahaglish/Balie na hEaglaise: Located directly N of old Tahilla village and NW of Coongar Harbour, this site, which is still used as a burial ground (KE100-015003-), commands an excellent view of Kenmare Bay and the Beara Peninsula to S. It consists of a subcircular enclosure containing the site of a church and a Man-made underground passage. It features a number of modern tombs and headstones, as well as numerous uninscribed upright slabs. In its SE quadrant is a slab set on edge with a circular depression on its E face; this measures .35m in diameter and .15m deep. The slab stands .55m high and measures .72m long and .22m thick. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 924. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
