• KE043-246 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Tobermartin/Tobar Mártain: The site of this well is marked by a waterlogged hollow in a marshy field. Rounds were made here on Easter Sunday and St. Martin's Day (11th November), and there is a tradition of a pattern in former times, with games, dancing etc. (An Seabhac 1939, 148; Ó Danachair 1960, 71).

• KE043-247 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  This site has been described as a circular fort with an external fosse (local information). It was destroyed fairly recently and the site, which lies in the old village of Ballineesteenig, is now occupied by a farmyard and out-buildings. On the 1st edition of the OS map it is depicted as a mound, suggesting that its condition was poor even then. It is named 'Fort' on the Fair Plan. An ogham stone (KE043-248----) formerly stood about 50m to E in the same farmyard. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

• KE043-248 Ogham stone
  Description

  When first discovered in 1790, this ogham stone stood upright in the middle of Ballineesteenig village (Pelham 1804, 185). It was later broken in two, and the pieces served various purposes around the farm prior to their removal to Burnham House (Coláiste Íde, see KE053-012009-), where they remain today. It is a long rounded boulder, 1.98m long and 1m in circumference. The inscription reads: MOINENA MAQI OLACON (Macalister 1949, 142-4, No. 147). The fracture across the middle of the stone removed two of the E scores but otherwise the inscription is clearly legible. A small Latin cross is inscribed on the opposite side of the stone.

• KE053-038 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Lisnaparkakeela/Lios na Páirce Caoile: The circular univallate enclosure marked on the OS maps survives only as a flat-topped platform measuring 19.7m x 19m x a maximum of 1m in height. There is a slight suggestion of a fosse outside the S sector. The mound abuts the W side of a NW-SE field fence, on a level spit of land that projects into the tidal estuary of the Trabeg inlet between the mouths of the Garfinny and Owenalondrig rivers. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 602.

  Description

  Internal diam. 21.5m NW-SE, 20.5m NE-SW. Lissadranig: A circular univallate rath situated on level ground on the N side of the Trabeg inlet. The level interior is enclosed by an earthen bank and fosse, the latter replaced along the N sector by a laneway. The fosse is c. 2.7m wide at base and rises 1.9m to the crest of the bank. The latter is up to 1m high internally. The entrance lies in the E sector and is c. 2.2m wide. The 2 gaps at NE and NW appear to be secondary features. The above description is derived from J.
