National Monument No. 10046. Calluragh burial ground/An Cheallúnach: KE043-013001- is located on a very gentle S facing slope at the head of the broad valley that extends N from Dingle Harbour. It consists of a subrectangular enclosure, within which are a burial ground, a large stone cross and remains of a possible hut.
Within the burial area is the stone cross (KE043-013003-) which stands 1.72m high above its modern base. On its SSE face is inscribed a large Latin cross with T-bar terminals, the crossing of arms and shaft surrounded by 2 large concentric circles.
