Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Irish English Шаблон:Infobox monastery Ballywiheen is a medieval Christian site and National Monument located on the Dingle Peninsula, Ireland.[1][2][3][4]
Location
Ballywiheen is located 800 m (half a mile) south of Ballyferriter, on the south side of Croaghmarhin mountain.
History
There was an early Christian settlement here, also called Raingiléis.[5][6]
The Ogham stone was erected as a grave marker c. AD 500–550. In the 1880s it was broken open in search of gold.[7]
Excavations in 1998 turned up a stone lamp and flint scraper.[8]
Description
Ballywiheen is surrounded by an enclosure Шаблон:Convert in diameter. In the eastern part are the remains of an early drystone oratory. To the west are two mounds — these mark the location of two leachtaí (stone altars).
There is also a cross slab (decorated with Maltese cross),[9] grave mounds (suggestive of a calluragh burial ground).
There is also a stone cross 123 cm (four feet) in height.[10]
Cathair na gCat
The name Cathair na gCat means "the cat's stone fort" (the "cat" referred to is possibly the "tree cat", i.e. the pine marten.) This is a stone fort (cashel) located immediately south of Ballywiheen Christian site. It contains two stone huts and a possible souterrain.
The Ogham stone (dated to the early 6th century AD)[11] reads TOGITTACC MAQI SAGARET[TOS], "of Toicthech son of Sáraid."[12][13][14]
