The National Monuments Service's description
KE044-019---- occupies an area of open ground in the centre of the village of Knockane, about three-quarters of a mile S of Lough Anscaul.
Inscribed-slab (KE044-019005-): An inscribed stone fragment from the site was presented to UCC in 1939 but its present whereabouts is not known. One surface bore 4 letters or symbols but the rubbing published by O'Connell (1939b, 45) does not help to clarify what these represent. A loom-weight was found on the site at the same time.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 831. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
