• KE054-006 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  This rath and souterrain are located on a N facing slope overlooking the Lispole valley. Three ogham stones and a cross-slab were reused in the construction of the souterrain. The rath formerly consisted of a roughly circular enclosure (OS maps) defined by a single earthen bank and fosse (Brash 1879, 236). However, it survives now only as an uneven platform surrounded along the N side by a very disturbed earthen bank. Its diameter has previously been given as 15.24m (Brash) and 24.4m (Curran no.1). The souterrain (KE056-006001-) lies in the approximate centre of the enclosure. It is L-shaped in plan, the 1st passage running N-S for 4.65m, the 2nd extending 4m to E from the S end of the latter. The present entrance, a ramp leading down to the N end of passage 1, may be original but it is now confused by collapse. There is another opening to the surface at the E end of the N wall of passage 2, but it is not clear whether this results from the collapse of a side-stone or whether it represents an original entrance or vent. The walls of the souterrain are constructed of upright slabs with some of the interstices filled with drystone walling. The roofing slabs generally rest directly on the side-stones but corbels are inserted above the latter in places. The junction of the 2 passages is marked by 2 low (.2m high) jamb stones set .2m apart. The passages average c. 0.65 to .7m in height; passage 1 is c. 1.25m wide and passage 2 increases in width from .7m at the W end to 1.4m at the E end. One of the ogham stones acts as a side-stone in the N side of passage 2. The cross-slab and a 2nd ogham stone perform a similar function in the S wall, and the 3rd ogham stone acts as a roofing slab in passage 1. The ogham inscriptions on the side-stones are partly concealed by fill, and those portions on the outside angles of the stones are difficult to view. The readings of the inscriptions provided by Macalister (1945, 136-7) were therefore tentative, and a reassessment was not possible on this occasion. (1) (KE054-006002-) This ogham inscription occupies both angles on the E side of the stone. It was read by Macalister (1945, 136) as: LAIDANN MAQI MACORBO (2) (KE054-006004-) This inscription occupies the outside angle on the W side of the stone. It was read by Macalister as: LADDIGNI MAQQI MUCCOI AN.... The stone is broken after the N and the remainder of the final name is missing. (3) (KE054-006005-) The scores on this roofing slab are coarsely executed and difficult to read but Macalister suggests: LUGUVVECCA MAQI (... Macalister also noted a plain cross which is no longer evident. (4) (KE054-006003-) The exposed face of the cross-slab bears 2 plain crosses in circles, one above the other. The stems of both crosses continue beyond the circles and have bifurcated terminals. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

• KE054-019 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 28m N-S, 25m E-W Lissonenakilla/Lios an Anacail: This roughly oval cashel is situated on a N facing slope overlooking the Lispole valley. The centre of the enclosure is occupied by a circular clochaun and in the SE quadrant, abutting the cashel wall, is a mound, 8.5m in maximum extent and c. 0.5m high; the function of the latter is not clear. There is no visible trace of the souterrain mentioned in the OSNB (Kinard, 26). The cashel wall consists of a core of stone and earth faced externally and internally with drystone masonry. It averages 3m in width and 1m in internal height. Externally the height varies, due to the slope in the land, from c. 0.7m at the S to 1.5m at the N and W. There are slight traces of terracing of the outer face at SE. Access to the interior is provided by 2 gaps in the NE portion of the wall, both of which appear to be original. The N one is at least lm wide but its S side has collapsed. A large stone set at right angles to the line of the wall, directly N of the entrance, may be original but its function is not known. The S entrance is 1m wide and is defined on both sides by upright slabs with drystone masonry in between. Clochaun: This measures c. 5.3m in internal diameter. The wall is 1.8m thick and the N and S sections are well preserved to a maximum height of c. 0.9m; the E and W portions have almost completely collapsed. The entrance passage faces SW and its N side is now collapsed. There is a small recess at the S side of the interior. Lying inside the clochaun is a slab with a small perforation, .04m in diameter, at one end. This may have been a pivot stone for the door. A similar stone formerly lay near the entrance to the cashel (Curran no.4). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

• KE054-020 Cist
  Description

  In October 1979 Ryan (NMI) investigated a grave near the decorated stone at Aghacarrible (KE054-021----). It was discovered accidentally at a point 15m NE of the stone. The burial is best described as a narrow rectangular slab-lined pit rather than a long stone cist. Its long axis is orientated SSW-NNE. The grave measures 2.1m in length at the top of the lining slabs and 1.7m at the bottom. The lining slabs were markedly inclined. They rested against the sides of the pit and were not firmly bedded. The ground plan at the bottom of the pit was irregular. Five capstones were in situ at the time of discovery and two had collapsed into the grave. The floor of the pit was unpaved. The grave was almost filled to the top with mud, to an average depth of .3m, following the heavy rains at the time of finding. In the mid-section of the grave on its subsoil floor was a portion of a human cranium (age and sex not determined). The bone is registered in the National Museum as 1979:102. At the SW end of the structure, some distance from the grave, 2 elongated stones, apparently bedded in the ground, appeared. This grave may be one of the number of cists, containing fragments of human bone, discovered in a field adjoining the decorated stone (O'Sullivan 1931, 128). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 193.

• KE054-021 Rock art
  Description

  This stone, partly concealed by the field wall that over-lies it, is located c. 300m W of the Glounshavanowen river on a N facing slope overlooking the valley of the Owenalondrig river. A number of slab-lined graves have been recorded in the immediate vicinity to N and W (KE054-022---- and KE054-020----). The stone measures c. 3.7m x 1.65m x a maximum of .5m thick. A 1m wide strip of its surface, bearing at least 8 cup-marks, 4 cup-marks enclosed by a single complete or incomplete circle, and other less clear motifs (Graves 1877, 286-7), is concealed by the field wall. On the visible SE portion of the stone the markings comprise 30 plain cup-marks, a cup-and-radial line, a few short curved or straight lines and 8 cup-marks enclosed by from 1 to 3 concentric circles. Near the E corner of the stone are 2 slightly curved lines incorporating cup-marks. Close beside these is a cup-and-3 circles having 2 satellite cup-marks incorporated into the outer circle and one into the middle circle. A satellite cup-mark is also incorporated into the outer circle of the adjacent cup-and-3 circles. A 3rd cup-and-3 circles has a short radial line connecting the central cup-mark to the inner circle. Three cup-marks are contained within a single complete or incomplete circle, and in one instance a short radial line extends from the cup-mark through the gap in the circle. Two further cup-marks are surrounded by 1 complete circle and a 2nd incomplete circle. In one instance, one end of the outer circle terminates with a cup-mark, and a curving radial line extends from the inner circle to an external cup-mark; in the other instance a possible radial line extends from the central cup-mark across and beyond the 2 circles. On the NW portion of the stone part of a cup-and-3 circles is visible. Small scale clearance of the overlying wall revealed that the inner circle is complete, and Graves's drawing indicates that both the middle and outer circles are incomplete. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 166. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013 In improved pasture, on a very gentle NNE-facing slope. Enclosed within a small fenced area distinct from rest of field and accessed by a stile from trackway at ESE. Good views of Glounshavanowen River valley NW->N->E. A smooth and fractured sandstone (dims. 3.50m NW-SE; 1.60m NE-SW) having an irregular decorated surface (dims. 3.50m NW-SE; 1.60m NE-SW) with an obvious SE-facing aspect. The decorative elements are in excellent condition and are primarily concentrated upon the lower portion of the rock face. They include four substantial cup-and-three-ring motifs (overall diam. 48cm; ring Wth 3-3.5cm; D 3cm; cup diam. 8 cm; D 12mm), three of which are incomplete, having a gap in the outer ring. Two partial cup-and-two-ring motifs, having a gap in the outer ring, are situated adjacent to the larger motifs. Three cup-and-ring motifs, two of which have a gap in the ring, are also located in and around the larger motifs. Approximately thirty-three cupmarks (diam. 5cm; D 3-5mm) are located across the decorated surface, again concentrated amongst the larger motifs. One of the partial cup-and-two ring motifs, one cup-and-ring motif and a cupmark have short radial grooves. The field wall mentioned by Cuppage (1986, 57-58) and depicted upon OS historic mapping has been removed. See attached screenshots of 3D model of the rock art panel created by Ted Creedon.

• KE054-022 Burial
  Description

  The 'Grave' marked on the OS maps apparently consisted of 2 upright stones about 3 feet high (.9m) and 10 to 12 feet (c. 3.5m) apart (OSM and Orpen 1908, 14). While digging the foundations for the house that now occupies the site, many small stone-lined graves were found and other graves have been recorded 100m due W (KE054-020----).
