- KE064-002 Ringfort - rath
Description
Internal diam. 29.4m N-S, 27.6m E-W This circular bivallate rath is located in low-lying pasture adjacent to the E bank of the Cottoners river. The inner bank has been disturbed in several places along its external face, but survives to a maximum external height of 2m at S. It measures up to 5m wide and falls 1m to the interior of the site. A 3.2m wide gap at E may represent the original entrance. The outer bank was removed in the early 1980s, when the intervening fosse was also infilled (local information). Two adjoining subrectangular huts abut the inner face of the bank at N. The N example (KE064-002002-) measures 4.3m N-S x 4.8m E-W internally and its sod-covered stone foundations, 1.3m wide, survive to a maximum height of .5m; a 2.5m wide entrance gap occurs at E. The second hut (KE064-002003-) measures 3.4m N-S x 2.9m E-W internally; a gap in the wall at E may be an entrance. A small lintelled opening, .6m x .25m, in the hut's S angle leads into an inaccessible stone-built souterrain (KE064-002001-). 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. 452.
