What is recorded here

Nine ogham stones circle the summit of a low hillock between Dingle Harbour and Trabeg, marking the lost church and burial ground of Ballintaggart. One boulder carries the name MAQI DECCEDA MAQI GLASICONAS, preserving a personal identity across centuries. The exact origin of each stone has faded, but their arrangement still directs attention to the hidden life below the grass.
