The National Monuments Service's description
An ogham stone (KE053-016002-) stands against the W side of a N-S field wall in a field on the W side of the main Dingle to Lispole road, near the old Dingle railway station. It formerly acted either as a lintel or as a jamb stone to a souterrain (KE053-016001-) in a destroyed rath (KE053-016----) in the same field (Windele 1848, 395-7; Brash 1879, 216-7).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 674. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
