Kilbeg/An Chill Bheag: A subrectangular enclosure KE042-038001- located about 30m E of Kilmore. The cross-inscribed bullaun stone and the 3 cross-inscribed stones that lie within the site are probably the penitential stations noted on the OS maps. (4) (KE042-038002-) The bullaun stone is set up on a crude base or altar of stones on the S side of the enclosure. The stone is roughly square with a V-shaped notch on one edge, and its sides are roughly dressed. The depression in its upper surface measures .31m in diameter and . 11m in depth and a small Latin cross has been carved to one side of this. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 815. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
