Ogham stone in Baile An Reannaigh

Ogham stone

What is recorded here

No ogham stone is named in the supplied facts for Baile An Reannaigh. The known stones belong to Cillvickillane/Cill Mhic Uíleáin, where a late 18th-century storm exposed seven ogham stones, a possible eighth fragment, graves, bone and house ruins. Six were later removed by Lord Ventry, including stone no. 4 at Coláiste Íde, marked BROINIONAS.
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 KE053-012007-. A stone measuring 1.82m high, 0.26m wide and 0.25m thick bears the inscription: BROINIONAS. Although the top of the stone is broken, the inscription appears to be complete (Macalister 1945, 147, no. 151).
