(September 12, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was recovered from a souterrain in a ringfort. It is now in the Library of Trinity College , Dublin.
(September 12, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found in the souterrain of a ringfort at the side of a rough, narrow mountain road leading from the hamlet of Kinard to Doonties. The cave is L-shaped. The first 2 stones were supports in its outer section while the 3rd was a lintel in the inner section.
The stone is a sandstone, its exposed part was 3′ 2″ × 0' 10" x 0' 7."
(September 13, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found by Richard Hitchcock as 1 of 2 found in the graveyard on this townland. One of these was presented on his behalf to the R.I.A. by Bishop Graves in 1848. The other is still on the site.
The stone is: 2' 10 1/2″ × 0′ 10″ × 0′ 2″.
The top image of this stone is an equilateral cross which is the Akkadian letter "T" meaning "astrology-magic. It is not a Christian cross which has a longer bottom line. The swastikas represent the motion powers which astrology magic affects.
(September 13, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was lying prostrate on a peat-covered plateau at the northwest end of Brandon Mountain to the south of the knoll called Masatiompan : marked " Monument " in the O.S. Map.
It is sandstone being 6′ 3″ × 1′ 3″ × 0′ 8″. The original face 4′ 3″ long and of a maximum thickness of 6 inches had been removed.
Once again the crosses are the Druid Akkadian letter "T" meaning "astrology magic" which was used to shift the fate of the heavenly bodies. They are not Christian crosses which have a longer bottom line.
(September 16, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found in 1790 by Henry Pelham " in the middle of a village (which he called "Ballyfeeny"). Some time before 1804 it was broken into two pieces, and part of the back of the stone was flaked away, as the result of kindling a fire against it. When Brash saw it, it was still on or near its original site but it was afterwards removed to Lord Ventry, where it remains.
The stone is 6′ 4″ x 1' 1" x 1' 2".
(September 16, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was 1 of 7 uncovered by a storm. In 1782 a storm blew away an accumulation of sand in an ancient burial-ground, called Kilvickillane, on the shore of Smerwick Bay. 4 of these were transferred in 1848 by Lord Ventry to his seat, Burnham, W. of Dingle. 2 by his son-in-law, Richard Chute, to whom Lord Ventry presented them, to his residence , Chute Hall, near Tralee; in both places they remain, though the houses have passed out of the hands of the family. The seventh is still on the original site. It was for long time buried in sand, but has now been re -erected on a knoll at or near the original site.
Pelham describes the effects of the storm, and gives very faulty sketches of some of the stones, as well as of a pulvinar-shaped stone, now apparently lost, bearing a cross but no inscription. He erroneously names Ballineanig, the next townland on the landward side, as the site of the ancient burial place. This error is corrected in Hitchcock's notebook, in the R.I.A. Library , in which he gives an account of the uncovering of the stones, a plan indicating their original position, and a description of their removal to Burnham.

This stone is at Burnham.
This stone is 4′ 2″ × 1′ 3″ × 0′ 8″
(September 19, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found at Burnham was 3 of 7 uncovered by a storm. The first inscription is intact while the second had been intentionally chipped away.
It is made of slate 4' 0 x 0′ 9″ × 0′ 11".
(September 19, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found at Burnham was 4 of 7 uncovered by a storm.
The stone is made of slate having a size of: 3' 0" x 0′ 9″ × 0' 10". Inscription pocked on one angle and was in good condition.
(September 19, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found at At Chute Hall.
It is made of grit having the size of: 3' 4" x 1' 0" x 0' 7".
(September 20, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was one of several found in a circular cemetery enclosure about 1 mile S.E. of Dingle. It contained 9 ogham sandstones. Hitchcock notes that stones like these do not occur in nature anywhere nearer to the site than Minard Strand, about six miles away, where large numbers of them are to be seen and he suggests that this was the source of supply. He also observes that the worn condition of some of the inscriptions is a consequence of the action of the sportive youth of the neighbourhood , who were in the habit of rolling the stones about as a trial of strength. Pelham, in Vallancey's Collectanea (6 : 199 ) had already given testimony to the same effect so whether Hitchcock's evidence is independent or derivative Macalister was unable to say.
This stone is: 3′ 6″ × 1′ 1″ × 0' 5". Inscription pocked and rubbed on two sides (up-top-down), and rather worn.

(September 23, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was one of several found in a circular cemetery enclosure about 1 mile S.E. of Dingle. It contained 9 ogham sandstones.
This stone is: 3′ 11″ × 1′ 4″ × 0′ 9″. The last five letters, while not in serious doubt, can scarcely be discerned.
(September 23, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone is now in the Royal Irish Academy's collection in the National Museum. It is said to have been found "in the townland of Ballinvoher, Barony of Corkaguiny , O.S. Sheet 45." The problem is that there is no townland of that name in the barony specified. It is the name of a parish, extending over seven O.S. maps, including No. 45.
The stone measures 4' 0" x 1' 6 1/2″ × 0′ 4″.
(September 23, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found standing in a field marked "Gallaun " on the O.S. Map.
It is made of grit, 7' 0" x 3 ' 6" x 1 ' 10 ". The writing begins 2 ' 5" from the bottom, runs for a length of 2' 5" and ends at 1' 10" from the top. Much worn by cattle, but decipherable.
(September 24, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was 1 of 2 ogham stones which were dislodged by a flood which affected the bed of a stream in this townland. One was broken up for building material, no record of its inscription was preserved. The other remained in the possession of the local farmer, one Murphy, and he presented it to the priest who attended him on his deathbed. (See JRSAI 42 [ 1912 ] : 164 ). The latter presented it to his bishop, and it is now erected at Killarney, in the grounds of St. Brendan's Seminary.
The stone is a sandstone grit , 4′ 9″ x 1' 5" x 0' 3".
(September 24, 2025) This stone has both an ogham text (line 1) and an early Anglo-Saxon text (line 2)
Macalister reports that this stone was found in front of the oratory called Teampull Geal :
Its size is: 5′ 6″ × 1′ 6″ × 0' 2". Its top has been broken and battered away with violence.
(September 27, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was fastened against the wall of a house at the entrance to the village. It was marked as "stone cross" on the Ordnance Map.
It is made of grit being 5′ 0″ × 1′ 41/2″ × 0′ 5″.
(September 27, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found on this townland in 1855 and placed by the discoverer, Rev. J. Goodman," for protection" inside an enclosure called Cathair na gcat, "The Cats' Fort." But, unfortunately, at some time early in the 1890's a man happened to knock it accidently and imagined that it sounded hollow; accordingly, he broke it, to possess himself of the treasure with which his fancy filled the cavity.
When Macalister saw it, only two of the three pieces still remained. The third, bearing the last three letters, was not to be found. The inscription is otherwise perfect, and there has never been any doubt about the reading of the inscription.
The dimensions taken by Hitchcock when the stone was unbroken were 4′ 8″ × 1′ 10″ × 0′ 9″, tapering to 0′ 10″ × 0′ 31″ at the top.
Line 2 is the Anglo-Saxon letter style. Some were apparently in Ireland at this time.
(September 28, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found lying in a field at the foot of the mountain called Caher Conree.
(September 28, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found lying prostrate on the summit of the promontory called Dunmore Head in Brash. It was discovered by the Cork antiquaries Windele, Abell, and Horgan, in 1838 and was re-erected in the following year by a local priest, Rev. J. Casey.
It is made of grit, being 5' 10" x 1' 0" x 1' 0". The ogham marks are pocked and rubbed, and though worn, are quite legible.
(September 28, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was the first Ogham stone to be discovered in Ireland, having been noticed within the first few years of the 1800 by Edward Lhuyd (see a letter to Vallancey, dated 1808, containing an extract from Lhuyd's notes, and printed in Brash , p . 173.)
It was found lying prostrate on the shore at Trabeg (Tráigh bheag, "the little strand") and washed over by every tide. Questioning the locals discovered that prior to its discovery it stood upright in a field somewhere near that spot. Around 1849 it was removed to Chute Hall to serve as a garden ornament, along with the two Ballinrannig stones which are still there. For some reason it was afterwards returned, and laid down upon the strand again.
It is now placed securely on a built-up block of masonry close to its former site.
It is made of grit being 7' 10" x 2' 0" at broadest x 0' 11".
(September 29, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found in a souterrain on the townland acting as a jamb-stone for its entrance. The inscription is pocked, and is in good condition. It was moved just past the further end of a field on a road leading into the townland fields from the Dingle side of the railway station. It is on the left-hand side leaning against a wall. The top part of this stone seems to have been broken off.
It's size is 4′ 3″ × 1′ 0″ × 0′ 11″
(September 29, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found serving as the lintel of an outhouse doorway on the farm of Mr. T. O'Connor.

(December 5, 2024, updated September 30, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found just prior to 1853 acting as a lintel on the doorway of a beehive hut in a half-erased fort. It was removed by him in 1853 to the Royal Irish Academy Museum.
Comment: Fertility-fluids are the life powers directed to earth by the life network. This text is specifically referencing the fertility of the farm grazing animals. Fertility-fluids trigger (motivate) Yahu to manifest the life-forms on earth.
(September 30, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found by Hitchcock lying with some other stones near the front of St. Brendan's Oratory on Inishvickillane, one of the most remote islands of the Blasket group. It was afterwards adapted as a door-lintel in some repairs to the oratory, in which situation I saw it first. It is now in the library of Trinity College, Dublin gifted by the Earl of Cork, proprietor of the island.
The stone measures 3′ 6″ × 0′ 7″ × 0′ 5 1/2″ .
Comment: Something is not activating the revelations of fate which normally cause death.

This stone is made of grit being 3′ 6″ × 0′ 9″ × 0′ 3 1/2″
Comment: The letter assignments are traditional and not Akkadian. The result is just names which are a linguistic cheat because they can cluster any arbitrary set of letters.
(October 1, 2025) Macalister reports that after this stone's initial discovery it was placed deep in earth against a modern grave and the inscription now is only barely accessible. From the top of the stone to the lower side of the square is a length of 1 ' 11".
It is made of grit, 5' 11" (exposed length) × 1′ 9″ × 0′ 11"
(October 1, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was lying flat and half buried in the middle of a graveyard when he visited it.
It's size is: 5' 11" × 1′ 7″ × 0' 6".
(October 1, 2025) Macalister reports that these stones were the northernmost stones of a row of 3 running north and south on the eastern side of a shallow mound. Another one was located on the northwest part of the mound.
Stone 190 (1) has the size: 3' 0" x 1′ 4″ x 1' 0"
Stone 191 (2) has the size: 3' 0' x 1' 1/2" x 0' 7 1/2".
(October 2, 2025) Macalister reports that the discoverer of this stone (Hitchcock) found it acting as a lintel in a cottage of one Michael Egan on this townland where it had been for 38 years. The cottage was demolished soon afterwards, and the stone was sent by him to the R.I.A. (in 1848).
One local story claimed it had earlier served in a similar capacity in another house in the neighboring townland of Magherabeg (O.S. 26 , 27). When this latter house fell into decay , the stone was appropriated by the builders of Egan's cottage.
A different local story was that it had been conveyed from the Magharee Islands by a man called Flynn, who built the house where found it. Flynn's son told Hitchcock this but Hitchcock was not altogether convinced by this story being doubtful about the transmission of the stone across several miles of sea. Also Hitchcock had observed that the name " Magharee " is not confined just to the islands but is also applied to the end of the peninsula projecting from the coast at Castlegregory.
The stone's dimensions are: 3' 9" x 1' 10" x 0' 7".
(October 2, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found standing in the graveyard of Ballinvoher parish at the head of a modern grave.
It is made of grit being 3' 8" x 0' 10" x 0' 4"
(October 2, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found by Mr. P. O'Sullivan in the same graveyard as stone 194. It was unearthed while repairing the underground structure of a grave, where it had been hidden out of sight . It has now been placed above the grave.
The stone has a red color being 4' 1" x 1′ 1″ × 0′ 5″
(October 2, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was originally 1 of 2 lintel stones found in a souterrain constructed within a small, and now erased fort which gave its name to this townland. These were taken up and removed to the adjacent townland of Lougher, to serve the same purpose in modern buildings.
That was where this stone was discovered by Hitchcock in 1853 over the door of a cottage. It was taken by him to Dublin for presentation to the R.I.A. Collection where it now is located.
(October 2, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was originally 2 of 2 lintel stones found in a souterrain constructed within a small, and now erased fort which gave its name to this townland. These were taken up and removed to the adjacent townland of Lougher, to serve the same purpose in modern buildings.
This stone was removed by the tenant, Simon McCarthy, in 1853 , and placed as a lintel in his dairy. His descendant, Mr. John McCarthy, is now in the occupation of the farm.
The stone is made of grit being 4′ 1″ × 0′ 3 1/2″ × 1′ 1″.
