Cosán na Naomh: The pilgrim's path that leads to the summit from the W side of the mountain is shown on the OS maps as beginning at Lateevebeg, but may have extended as far W as Fahan (McDonogh 1985, 74). The route passes close to many of the early church sites, calluraghs and holy wells for which the peninsula is famous, including Gallarus (KE042-071001-) and Kilmalkedar (KE042-026008) and Harbison (forthcoming) suggests that some of these sites may have been associated with the pilgrimage. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage (compiler) 'Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.' Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 818. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 May 2013
