Excavations by Tom Fanning in the 1970s revealed the ruins of an oratory, several clocháns (stone huts), some conjoined, a graveyard and about ten decorated stone slabs, of which one is a particularly fine example. This pillar measures 1.64 metres in height and is 0.6 metres wide by 0.26 metres thick and is decorated with an encircled Greek cross from which are pendant spiral designs terminating in a pelta. The stone was decorated in Early Christian times (c. 7th century). The letters 'DNE' - D(omi)ne - O Lord, are set sideways to the cross. A second stone is decorated with a large Latin cross coupled with bifurcated terminals and two crosslets in the upper angles. After the oratory was abandoned, the site was used as a ceallurach (children's burial ground) and further burials were made in box-like arrangements of stones, some covered with quartz and seashore pebbles. The monastic enclosure surrounding these features pre-dates the two groups of double clochans. One of the smaller cross-pillars has a stylised bird. Another has the inscription DNO on one side and DNI on the other.[2] [1] Some of the artefacts found in the excavation at Reask, including some of the cross-inscribed stones, are on display in Músaem Chorca Dhuibhne, which is in the nearby village of Baile an Fheirtéaraigh.[3] The site is a National Monument in state care.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite book|last=Cuppage|first=Judith|others=Bennett Isabel; Cotter, Clare; O Rahilly, Celie|title=Archaeological Survey of the Dingle Peninsula|year=1986|publisher=Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne|location=Ballyferriter|isbn=978-0-906096-06-2|pages=336–345}} 2. ^{{cite book | last=Weir, A| year=1980 |title=Early Ireland.
