St. Manchan's Oratory

St. Manchan's Oratory, also called An Teampall Geal ("the bright church") is a medieval oratory and National Monument in County Kerry, Ireland.

Location
St. Manchan's Oratory is located in Ballymorereagh (An Baile Riabhach), on the southeast slopes of Lateeve (Leataoibh) hill, 4.5 km east-northeast of Dingle.

Church
A boat-shaped oratory similar to that at Gallarus. It stands 2.75 m high and has a finial. A souterrain (called Poll na Sagart, the priest's hole, based on the common legends that Catholic priests hid in them in the Penal era) and ancient burial ground with cross-inscribed slabs lie nearby. A holy well, Tobermanaghan, lies to the south.

Ogham stone
The ogham stone (CIIC 170) stands 1.68 m and reads QENỊLOCI MAQI MAQI-AINIA MUC̣[OI] ("of Cellach, son of the son of Ania, of the tribe of ..."). Sabine Ziegler placed it in the 5th–7th centuries AD.
