The National Monuments Service's description
When a low mound was removed from the corner of this field it was found to mark a grave containing a human skeleton (KE045-023----).
A heap of quartz stones and an inscribed slab (KE045-023001-) were also found. The latter, described as having writing on it, was taken to Dublin but nothing more is known of it; it may have been an ogham stone (local information).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 196. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
