Ogham stone (present location)

What is recorded here

Nine ogham stones form a circle on the hillock above Dingle Harbour, preserving names carved before written history faded. One boulder bears a plain Greek cross and the word INISSIONAS, marking a person or place now lost to time. The stones were gathered from nearby fields and set within the old burial ground, creating a chamber where forgotten lives still speak through scratches in rock.
