What is recorded here

Ogham on the broken edge, a name cut for a doorway that no longer stands. The rath is gone, the passage lost, but the stone survived to enter the museum. What is missing is not nothing. It is the part that refused to be forgotten.

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. 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.
