What is recorded here

No visible scar on either angle, yet the grooves cut through solid stone. Dubonthirras, son of Tenach, likely stands recorded there because someone wanted the name to survive long after the hands that carved it forgot how to breathe. The storm stripped the mound clean, exposing the chamber and forcing the stones into human sight. Lord Ventry carried most of them away, leaving behind a driveway marked by dead names and a hall yard holding the rest.

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 (KE029-132----, KE029-241----) near Tralee and no. 7 remains at the original site (KE042-057003-). The present location of this stone is at Coláiste Íde, between Dingle and Ventry and its monument number at that location is KE053-012005-. This stone stands 0.99m high and is c. 0.33m wide and 0.22m in depth. The inscription runs along both angles of the S face and reads (unusually, down dexter – up sinister): DUBONIRRAS MAQQI TENAC(I). The final 2 letters are damaged and Macalister (1945, 144-5, no. 148) stated that 'C is faint but traceable' and I is purely conjectural.
