What is recorded here

Two ogham stones in Tinnahally, County Kerry, came from an underground passage in the ringfort called Lisnareabagh. One bears the name Tegann mac Deglan, a person reduced to chisel marks yet still identifiable after centuries. Foley, innkeeper of Killorglin, showed them to Windele, who carried them away; they are now in the National Museum of Ireland. What began as a buried local marker became a travelled artifact, pulled from soil into display.

One of two ogham stones from Tinnahally, Co. Kerry (see also KE057-105001- present location OF018-195----). Macalister (1945, 249) records that the 'two stones were raised from the Man-made underground passage of a fort, the name of which is given as "Lisnareabh," on lands in the occupation of a man called Foley, innkeeper of Killorglin, who showed them to Windele. Windele acquired them and removed them to Cork; they are now in the Royal Irish Academy's collection.' There is a ringfort (KE057-006----) in the townland of Tinnahally named 'Lisnareabagh' on the OS 6-inch map and it contains a Man-made underground passage (KE057-006001-). It seems probable that the stones came from here. This stone is now in the National Museum of Ireland (DU018-401----). The stone measures 1.77m x 0.55m x 0.43m (5 feet 10 inches x 1 foot 10 inches x 1 foot 5 inches). The inscription reads: ANM TEGANN MAC DEGLANN (Macalister 1945, 251, no. 256; McManus 1991, 65). 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.
