Abstract
In 2006 a fragment of an ogham stone was identified. It was incorporated into a roadside field boundary wall, just north of Arrigal cross roads, in Spiddal townland. Sometime previous to that, in the same wall, a fragment of what appeared to be the upper part of a beehive-shaped quern stone was also discovered. The discovery of these two diagnostic pieces in such close proximity to each other suggests significant activity in the area in the late Iron Age and Early Christian periods. This paper outlines the background to the two discoveries, describes each artefact in detail, and attempts to place them in their archaeological and historical context.
