Templebeg/An Teampall Beag [KE052-026001-]: Situated at the present N limit of the graveyard are the fragmentary and overgrown remains of a small rectangular church, 6.5m E-W x 3.65m N-S internally. The church was in ruins in 1841 (OS map), and the present remains suggest a late medieval date for the structure. A stone lying loose in the graveyard is inscribed with a plain cross, and a 2nd cross-inscribed stone and a rude stone cross were formerly visible (Curran no.31; Macalister). According to Macalister the graveyard was used as a burial ground for unbaptised children in the 19th century'. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 984.

Explorer Tom Dunbeg in Fán thinks Dublin tourists are just noisy ghosts who don't know how to walk. The sea is slowly eating its lunch while it sits there looking smug. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Fionntrá has been the subject of priestly disputes since the fourteenth century, which is just fancy talk for arguing over property lines. Smugglers probably hid their gold right under those ancient stones. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Explorer Tom Rahinnane Castle would ace a job interview by listing its surviving turret as a key asset. The eastern sector is just footings now, which is a bit of an awkward topic. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
