What is recorded here

An ogham stone in Imleach An Daingin marked an underground passage in a destroyed rath, standing later against a field wall near the old Dingle railway station. Its broken angle still bears TALAGNI MAQ, a name cut for someone who walked that place before the rath disappeared. The stone has moved into Músaem Chorca Dhuibhne, but the field remembers the shape of what it covered.

This ogham stone (KE053-016002-) formerly stood against the W side of a N-S field wall in a field on the W side of the main Dingle to Lispole road, near the old Dingle railway station: it is now in Músaem Chorca Dhuibhne, Baile an Fheirtéaraigh (see KE042-167----). It acted either as a lintel or as a jamb stone to a Man-made underground passage (KE053-016001-) in a destroyed rath (KE053-016----) in the same field (Windele 1848, 395-7; Brash 1879, 216-7). The stone is 1.08m high, 0.36m wide and 0.24m thick. The inscription occupies one of its angles and reads: TALAGNI MAQ..... (Macalister 1945, 174, no. 181). The stone is broken beyond the Q and the remainder of the inscription is missing. (Cuppage 1986, no. 674) This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.
