An ogham stone was recorded on the Literagh side of Brandon Point by both Windele (quoted in Brash 1879, 196 and 226 and Macalister 1945, 167) and Hitchcock (quoted in Macalister 1945, 167). Neither was able to examine it closely due to its inaccessible position on the extreme verge of a cliff. In 2 separate entries Brash mentioned a landslide in the winter of 1849. It is unclear whether both references are to the landslide that rendered the stone inaccessible or whether, as Macalister understood, there was a 2nd landslide causing the stone to fall into the sea. The precise location has not been identified.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 798. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
