What is recorded here

Ten ogham stones circle the summit of a low hillock between Dingle Harbour and Trabeg, gathered from nearby soil to mark an old burial ground. One boulder bears a plain Greek cross and the name MAQQI-IARI, carving a dead man into visible form. The arrangement feels less like a museum display than a temporary cage, holding scattered memory in a narrow ring where the wind still moves through the gap.

National Monument No. 64. Ballintaggart church (KE053-033001-) (site of) and old burial ground (KE053-033002-) /An Cheallúnach or An Lisín: This circular enclosure crowns the summit of a low, but prominent, hillock between Dingle Harbour and Trabeg. Ten ogham stones have been collected from various locations (not precisely located) in the vicinity of the site and are now arranged in a circle within the enclosure. The flattened upper surface of this boulder, 1.07m long, bears a plain Greek cross and the ogham inscription reads: MAQQI-IARI K(O)I MAQQI MUCCOI DOVVINIAS. Only 5 of the vowel notches of the 3rd word are clear but Macalister (1945, 152, no. 156) states that KOI is certainly the correct reading. (Cuppage 1986, no. 820, no. 5) 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.
