This site, not marked on the OS maps, is known locally as a ceallúnach and is located in a sloping field over-looking the Portmagee Channel. It consists of a stony area of approximately rectangular plan, measuring 10.8m N-S x 8.7m E-W, and is raised an average of .4m above surrounding ground level. A row of five large blocks occurs close to its W edge. The surface of the interior is uneven and features about eighty small boulders and upright slabs, some of which are quartz. The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 976. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 18 June 2013

Not marked on the OS maps, a souterrain was discovered at this location in the 1950s in low-lying land on the W side of the Derreen river estuary, c. 100m SW of Ardcost Foot.

It is 3m wide and rises .8m above surrounding ground level. The site is known locally as an óin. 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. 844.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
