... which makes me think this is the building, with later additions. Door, window positions, and chimneys match, if you disregard the extension on the right - maps.app.goo.gl/jLZLmLtt9j99izTMA

"History of Arbutus Cottage (Gap of Dunloe)

19th-Century Furniture Hub: Built in the 1880s, the cottage originally served as the workshop for master cabinet maker James French. French specialized in "Killarney work"—intricate woodwork and furniture carved and inlaid with native arbutus and bog oak timber found in the Killarney National Park.

Royal Seal of Approval: The cottage's workshop was so renowned that in April 1885, the Prince and Princess of Wales (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra) visited the property to view the famous inlaying and carving industry firsthand."

" ... The River Maine originates from a spring rising in a conical, oval-shaped depression at Tobermaing in County Kerry, situated approximately a quarter mile east of Tobermaing House at an elevation of about 100 feet (30 m) above sea level.[7] This source lies in the southern slopes of the Stack's Mountains, where the upper reaches are also known as the Shanowen River, a primary headwater of the Maine system.[6] From Tobermaing, the river flows westward, passing near and through the town of Castleisland, where it is joined by the Little Maine tributary.[1][6] ... ...

From logainm, Tobermaing / Tobar Mainge is in the barony of Trughanacmy / Triúcha an Aicme. The civil parish is Castleisland / Oileán Ciarraí.

Loads of literary and historical references for the name Tobermaing, and its evolution. Gotta love logainm!

Castleisland
An old record states "Sometimes a stream will come up to the surface, and having flowed upon it for some time, will disappear again to some cavity and resume its subterranean progress". Of this there is an instance at the head of the River Maine which flows into Castlemaine Harbour. The stream rises at Tobermaing, which is situated in a hollow measuring 100 by 60 yards, and 40 to 50 feet deep. Having flowed on the surface of the ground for 35 yards, the stream sinks and rises again a quarter of a mile off, by the roadside on the south of Tobermaing House.

O Mac Good morning.

It would appear to be a place east of Fenit in Kerry called Churchhill. Nothing to do with Winston. The cross still exists in the village. maps.app.goo.gl/kUvXD1ourFBXh97J9

Mike Grimes Thanks Mike, It has come down in its stature since 1943!

It's now baseless.

I haven't found anything about it online - nothing at the NIAH or DIA, I don't even see a close-up photo where the inscription can be read.
