What is recorded here

No visible fort remains at Imleach An Daingin. Only a broken ogham stone still stands in a field wall near the old Dingle railway station, bearing the name TALAGNI and nothing after. That much is known. What is lost is the rath itself, its underground passage, and the life that moved through it. A fort can disappear while still naming itself.

An ogham stone stands 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 formerly acted either as a lintel or as a jamb stone to a Man-made underground passage in a destroyed rath in the same field (Windele 1848, 395-7; Brash 1879, 216-7). Ogham Stone; The stone is 1.08m high, .36m wide and .24m thick. The inscription occupies one of its angles and reads: TALAGNI MAQ..... The stone is broken beyond the Q and the remainder of the inscription is missing. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 674. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
