• KE043-173 Settlement deserted - medieval
  Description

  Known locally as 'the Poneens', this site lies at the head of the valley that extends NE from Dingle Town. It consists of an irregularly-shaped field which contains traces of small enclosures and the foundations of 4 or 5 rectangular buildings. These latter average c. 4m in length x 1.8m in width internally and the grass-grown walls stand no more than .5 to .6m in height. The site has the appearance of a deserted settlement, possibly 18th/19th century in date, and there is a vague tradition of a village having been located here. The name 'Poneens' may be derived from the word póna, meaning cattle pound. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

• KE043-225 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 22. This site is situated in rough marshy land, at the head of the narrow valley that extends NE from Dingle town. It consists of an irregular but roughly circular area, enclosed for the most part by a stone wall, up to 1.75m high, but to SE and S by a low earthen bank. The wall is similar in construction to adjacent field fences and is probably secondary. The bank is c. 0.35m high internally, c. 0.55m high externally and 1.95m wide at base. There are a number of small breaks through the bank and one, measuring .7 to 1.5m wide, is provided with a low threshold slab. There is a 1.25m wide entrance through the later wall at NE. The interior of the site is uneven and overgrown with vegetation. There are heaps of stone in the NE sector but these do not form any recognisable pattern. An inaccessible souterrain (KE043-225001-) in the W sector consists of a hollow, 3m long E-W and .3 to .55m deep, with a large stone, probably a roofing slab, at its W end. A passage appears to run W from an opening beneath this stone, but it is now filled in and could not be inspected. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 294. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE043-226 Rock art
  Description

  In August 1982, during land development work, 2 boulders, both with cup-and-circle motifs, were discovered under about .2m of soil in a fairly level field on the E side of the valley that extends NE from Dingle Town. Both have now been placed against the S field boundary. The larger stone (KE043-226----), measuring 2.34m x 2.24m, was found decorated face upwards. Eleven cup-and-circles and one solitary cup-mark occupy less than half the upper surface, the remainder being undecorated. Some of the circles appear gapped but this may not be deliberate as the motifs are considerably weathered. The second stone (KE043-226001-), a roughly rectangular boulder, measuring .88m x .66m, was found decorated face downwards. A single motif, a cup-and-3 circles, occurs at the edge of one face; the outer circles tend towards an oval shape.

Date of upload: 29 May 2013 In improved pasture (82m OD), on a WSW-facing slope. Excellent view of Dingle Harbour to SW and overlooked by higher ground WSW->W->N->E->SE including Ballysitteragh mountain to N and Sugar Loaf hill to NE. According to Cuppage (1986, 58-9), two boulders (KE043—226---- and KE043-226001-) were discovered during land development works in August 1982. They were found under c. 0.2m of soil in a fairly level field on the E side of the valley that extends NE from Dingle Town. The large stone (KE043-226----) was found face up (Cuppage, ibid) and is now currently resting up against the NE side of a linear drystone field wall (long-axis NW-SE) along with a number of other loose stones which have been placed along this boundary. A slightly rough and fractured, ex-situ sandstone (dims. 3.02m NW-SE; 2.05m NE-SW; max. T 0.34m) having a subrectangular decorated surface (dims. 1.35m NW-SE; 0.90m NE-SW) which is currently NE-facing and obscured by numerous lichens. Machinery marks are present, evidently derived from unearthing the stone and moving it to its present location. The decorative elements are very weathered and consist of eleven cup-and-ring motifs and a cupmark, which occupy approximately one half of the surface.

It is enclosed by a low bank, .2m high.
