What is recorded here

Chute Hall in Tullygarran holds one of seven stones a late eighteenth-century storm pulled from Cillvickillane. Lord Ventry carried six away in the mid-nineteenth century, leaving only the seventh beside the graves and house ruins that emerged with them. The stone stands 1.1 metres tall and bears the name CCICAMINI MAQQ(I) C(A)TTINI across two opposed angles. It is not a display piece but a displaced participant in a buried arrangement that the sea briefly revealed.
Cillvickillane/Cill Mhic Uíleáin: A storm at the end of the 18th century exposed 7 ogham stones, this possible fragment of an 8th ogham stone, a cross-inscribed stone, a number of graves and quantities of bone, and the ruins of several houses (Windele 1838, 145). Windele's sketch of the site shows the ogham stones set out in a rough semi-circle on top of the mound with a slab-lined grave positioned nearby. Lord Ventry removed 6 of the ogham stones from the site in the mid-19th century; nos. 1 to 4 now line the driveway to Burnham House/Colaiste Íde (KE053-012004-, KE053-012005-, KE053-012006-, KE053-012007-), between Dingle and Ventry; nos. 5 and 6 are preserved in the grounds of Chute Hall (KE027-132----, KE027-241----) near Tralee and no. 7 remains at the original site (KE042-057003-). The present location of this stone is at Chute Hall in the townland of Tullygarran and its monument number at that location is KE027-241----. A stone measuring 1.1m high and 0.29 x 0.20m at base. Two opposed angles bear the inscription: CCICAMINI MAQQ(I) C(A)TTINI. Two of the vowels are no longer traceable but the remainder of the scores are clearly defined.
