• KE043-167 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 30m Lisillaundarrig/Lios Oileán Garbh: A univallate ringfort situated on the steep SW slopes of Knockmoylemore, with good views over the lower Garfinny valley and Trabeg. The N sector of the site has been destroyed by the construction of a trackway and the remainder is not well preserved. It measures 30m N-S and 19m E-W internally and is defined for the most part by a low scarp, the interior being raised slightly above the external ground level. However, an inner revetment of large stones, .5m high, is visible for a distance of 15m at SW. The small stones piled on top of this revetment and strewn on and below the enclosing scarp in places may be field clearance debris. According to Curran (no. 16), this site is a cashel, not a rath. Though very little of the enclosing wall survived at the time of his visit, he recorded a wall width of 7 feet (2.1m) and noted that there was a step or terrace in the wall about .36m above the ground. A mound of stones in the NW sector of the interior marks the location of the clochaun noted on the OS maps. A 2m long section of the inner wall-face survives to a height of .25m at W, but the remainder is obscured by collapse. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE043-184001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 31.5m N-S, 33m E-W. Lissawalla/Lios an Bhaile: Situated on the S slopes of Knockmoylemore, overlooking the broad valley that surrounds Trabeg. This site was marked on the OS maps as a 'Calluragh burial ground' (KE043-184002-) but there are no traces of any graves or grave-markers in the interior. It consists of a circular area enclosed by a single earthen bank and fosse. The fosse is best preserved around the N half of the site where it is 4.4m wide and up to .9m deep below the external ground level. To S and SE it has been obliterated by the trackway which skirts the outer edge of the bank. The bank varies from 1.6 to 3.3m in width at base and reaches its maximum height at N where it is 1.7m high internally and 2.4m high above the bottom of the fosse. It is revetted internally with drystone masonry. There also appear to be some traces of collapsed revetment walling at the base of the outer face at N, and along the S sector where the lane way abuts the site. Entrance gaps at W and E measure 2 to 3m and 2m wide respectively. A small clochaun (KE043-184003-) has been recorded in the fort (OSNB Garfinny, 36), but the banks and mounds now present in the interior do not form any recognisable features.

• KE043-191 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Situated on the lower S slopes of Knockmoylemore, c. 5m W of a small stream, this site consists of a roughly oval mound with a smaller crescent-shaped mound located c. 2m from its W end. This latter is c. 7m long and up to .5m high. The larger mound, composed mainly of stone with some clay intermingled, measures 11.2m E-W, 9.3m N-S and from .2 to 1.07m in height. A very slight depression is discernible towards the centre. The majority of those stones which can be inspected do not appear to have been in contact with fire, but some burnt stones are present suggesting the site may be a fulacht fiadh.

• KE043-193 Standing stone
  Description

  The name 'Gallaun' appears on the 2nd edition of the OS map at this location on the gentle S slopes of Knockmoylemore.

• KE043-194 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 23 N-S, 24m E-W. Lisgortneeva/Lios an Naoimhín: A circular univallate rath situated on the S slopes of Knockmoylemore, overlooking the lowlying area that surrounds Trabeg. The enclosing bank is of earth and stone, with some traces of drystone facing. It stands to a maximum height of 1.4m, but is considerably disturbed, particularly its S half which is now no more than .4m high internally and .7 to 1m high externally. The revetment walling along its outer edge in this sector, and the wall that surmounts the remains of the bank in the W sector, are later features. There is no clear evidence for an entrance. Much of the interior is occupied by a circular mound composed mainly of stones. It measures 10.5 to 9.5m in diameter and is a maximum of 1.45m high. The NE corner of a rectangular drystone-built structure is visible at the SE edge of the mound. The walls are .3m long E-W, 1.3m long N-S and no more than .6m high. A low bank, possibly ruined walling, continues the line of the longer wall for a further c. 6.2m. This may be the remains of a house or animal pen. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 314.

• KE043-195001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 24.5m N-S, 29.3m E-W. Lisbaun/An Lios Bán: A univallate rath situated on the S slopes of Knockmoylemore, overlooking the broad valley that surrounds Trabeg. It is known locally as a burial ground and is named 'Calluragh burial ground' on the OS maps. The earthen enclosing bank is a maximum of 1.45m high and is revetted internally with neat drystone masonry, up to .8m high. The E portion of the bank now forms part of a N-S field fence. The drystone facing on its inner and outer flanks here, similar to that on the remainder of the field wall, is probably associated with this secondary use. It is not clear where the original entrance lay. Two gaps at NW and NE do not cut through the lower portion of the bank, and a 3rd at SW appears to be modern. Much of the interior is occupied by a stony, subrectangular raised area which measures 20m N-S and 11m E-W. To N it is defined by the ringfort bank, to E by a low scarp, c. 0.3 to .5m high, and to S and W by a stony bank up to .7m high. The function of this feature is not known. The foundations of a circular structure, 4.3m in diameter, are located at the SW corner of the platform. A pair of orthostats set .5m apart at E may mark its entrance. A 3rd orthostat, .5m high, stands a short distance to S. The function of the latter is not clear but it may be a grave-marker related to the use of the site as a burial ground. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 315.

• KE043-197 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Calluragh Burial Ground/An Cheallúnach: This site lies at the foot of the S slopes of Knockmoylemore in the field adjacent to Lisrobert (KE043-236----). It consists of an irregular, wedge-shaped enclosure, measuring 41.6m ENE-WSW and 34m N-S. The S and W sides are delimited by field boundary fences and the remainder of the perimeter by a low wall, c. 0.8m to 1m high. The N half of the interior is level and featureless but the SE sector is uneven, being occupied by amorphous mounds. In the 1840's a circular area in the E corner, about 18m in diameter, was still used for the interment of children (OSNB Garfinny, 25). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 883.

• KE043-236 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 42m SE-NW, 33m SW-NE. Lisrobert/Lios Roibeáird or Lios an Bhúlaeraigh: Situated on a very gentle S facing slope overlooking Trabeg, this site consists of a single earthen bank and fosse enclosing a roughly oval area which contains the remains of a souterrain and a hut-site. The fosse is an average of 5m wide and 1.3m deep, and traces of drystone facing are preserved for 2 short stretches along its outer flank. The bank is an average of 3m high above the bottom of the fosse, 1.3m high internally, and 6.7m wide at base. Parts of its inner face are revetted with drystone masonry which stands to a maximum height of 1.3m but is generally no more than 2 or 3 courses high. This stone facing may formerly have been continuous, and it is possible that sections of it were robbed during the construction of the road which skirts the W section of the site. The causewayed entrance at S is lined with drystone masonry on its E side. The interior is occupied by a series of E-W cultivation ridges. An L-shaped stony mound in the centre may be the remains of the clochaun noted on the Fair Plan and described in the OSNB (Garfinny, 24) as a 'circular heap of small stones'. The present landowner discovered a socketed bronze axehead (NMI 1944:275) in this mound of stones, but previous accounts erroneously give the souterrain as its find spot. The souterrain, located SE of the hut, consists of a sub-circular drystone-built chamber which opens off the NW side of a 2nd chamber or passage marked by an irregular depression. The accumulation of household rubbish in the depression probably obscures the entrances to the other small passages which apparently led off it (local information). Though inaccessible, the intact chamber can be viewed through the entrance, and local information indicates that it is roofed by a single large slab and contains a stone seat. It is about 1.5 to 2m high and measures c. 1m x 2m at base. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.
