Danny Sheehy, local fisherman, farmer, poet, and author, demonstrates the techniques of the coastal West Kerry fisherman to a CT group. Danny is a great repository of local lore. In 1976 he and one other man sailed an open Galway hooker to New York for the "Tall Ships" celebration. Danny has also been known to provide crab claws for Celtic Traveler dinners.
Cluáin Siorrach ("The meadow of the colt"). This huge solstice alignment lies hidden away in a high pasture on the north side of the peninsula, requiring a trip over the Conner Pass in order to visit it. It's an excellent example of the many treasures that are missed because "no one knows they are there."
Seaweed and rocks near the old harbor of Dún Chaoin. For those who like to find and collect smooth, interesting stones the beaches and rocky coves of the Peninsula are a wonderful place to search.
Teámpal Bán ("the white church"). One of many medieval monastic ruins scattered throughout the countryside of the Dingle Peninsula. The small foundations were the home of a few monks and provided church services for the local people. They also usually had specialty trades such as glass-making, leather work, beer brewing, or baking. Between the two cross-inscribed stones in the foreground is the monk's burial ground, marked out with white quartz stones. Behind that, to the right is the ruin of the little church for the site. Before Vatican II, the local people used to bury unbaptised infants at such sites.
