The National Monuments Service's description
Templemanaghan/Teampall Mhanacháin or Teampall Geal (KE043-140001-) and its associated burial ground lie on the lower E slopes of Lateevemore and command a magnificent view over Dingle Harbour and the Milltown valley.
Cross-slabs: (5) Fig. 151b A fragment of a cross-slab lying on the floor of the oratory. It measures .72m x .55m x .04 to .08m thick. The decoration on its upper surface may have been part of a cross-in-circle but now consists of an irregular inscribed arc bisected by a line. Another line runs across the face of the stone to meet a diagonal line at the opposite edge. A notch on one edge suggests that the broken stone was at some stage reused as a gravemarker.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 824. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
