Recorded monuments

• KE097-001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 18m NW-SE This rather disturbed univallate rath is located on the lower NW side of a W spur of Killonecaha mountain, overlooking St Finan's Bay to W. A drystone wall overlies the enclosing earthen bank along the NE sector, and the remainder of its circumference is largely obscured by a dense growth of vegetation. There is much loose stone scattered along the flanks of the bank, which may have been drystone-faced. The bank is on average .5m high externally, and is 1.5m wide. A blocked opening to a souterrain (KE097-001001-) is located at its external base at NW. Much clearance material has been dumped in the uneven and overgrown interior of the site. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 451. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
