• KE042-037001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Kilmore/An Chill Mhór: This is the larger of 2 enclosures which lie within 30m of each other on low-lying level ground about 250m S of Ferriter's Cove. It is circular in plan, measuring 40.5m in diameter internally, and is enclosed by a stone wall, 1.1 to 2.4m wide and up to 1.6m high. The entrance at SSE is 1.55m wide and is marked on either side by an upright slab, 1.32 and 1.18m high; a modern wall now blocks the gap. The gap at WSW is a secondary feature. The interior was formerly cultivated (OSNB Dunurlin, 17) and the only feature now visible is a stony mound on which stands a cross-inscribed stone. The mound measures 14.2m E-W x 10.3m N-S and a slight depression in its upper surface measures 4 x 3.3m. The cross-slab (KE042-037002-) stands on the SE side of the mound and is 1.23m high, .5m wide and .09m thick. Its E face bears a simple Latin cross, the head of which is now ill-defined; the end of the shaft is buried beneath the ground. The W face also bears a simple Latin cross, with a bifurcated or 'fish-tail' terminal at its head. The circular depression below the right arm is a natural feature. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 814.

• KE042-038001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Kilbeg/An Chill Bheag: A subrectangular enclosure located about 30m E of Kilmore. The cross-inscribed bullaun stone and the 3 cross-inscribed stones that lie within the site are probably the penitential stations noted on the OS maps. The enclosure measures 16.6m NNE-SSW x 13.1m WNW-ESE and is bounded by a drystone-built wall now largely overgrown and collapsed; the latter is a maximum of 1.2m high and 2.2m wide. The entrance lies at the E end of the S wall. The .63m wide gap in the N wall does not appear to be a deliberate feature. A low platform or step, .2m high and 1 to 2m wide, abuts the inner edge of the enclosing wall for its entire length. The centre of the enclosure is occupied by a rectangular mound of stones with a slightly depressed interior. It measures 11.1m NE-SW x c. 5.5m NW-SE x c. 0.4m in height and 3 stones stand upright near its W edge. Curran (no. 26) suggested that the mound was formerly a church but it is possible that it accumulated gradually as pilgrims to the site deposited stones while performing rounds. Cross-inscribed stones formerly stood at each corner of the enclosure (Curran) but only two of these remain in situ; a 3rd lies loose against the S wall and the 4th is now missing. (1) Located in the SW corner, this stone stands .52m high and is .33m wide at base and c. 0.06m thick. Its E face is inscribed with a roughly equal-armed cross. (2) Located in the SE corner, this stone is .51m high, .22m wide and .03 to .05m thick; it is now broken in two. Its NW face is inscribed with a simple cross. (3) This stone has been carved to a rough cross shape measuring .55m in height and .46m in width. One face is inscribed with a roughly equal-armed cross. (4) (KE042-038002-) The bullaun stone is set up on a crude base or altar of stones on the S side of the enclosure. The stone is roughly square with a V-shaped notch on one edge, and its sides are roughly dressed. The depression in its upper surface measures .31m in diameter and . 11m in depth and a small Latin cross has been carved to one side of this. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 815.
