Location: | unknown Macalister/1945, 167: `A correspondent of Windele's, by name Matthew Casey, wrote on 25 March 1850 a letter claiming to have discovered an Ogham stone on the Literagh side of Brandon Point, within 10 miles of Dingle. It is described in another note in the Windele collection as 3ft. high and 3 ft. broad, visibly inscribed, but in an inaccessible situation. Hitchcock describes the stone as standing on a green bank above a cliff; but the bank had recently fallen, and the site of the stone could only be seen from a distance of 3 yards and on a cliff 20 fathoms high - a description which we must accept, though it is a little difficult to visualise, and equally difficult to identify the exact site. He describes the stone as about 2' high, 2' broad, and 2' thick and as showing few scores. According to Brash there was a further landslide and the stone fell into the sea'. |
