Recorded monuments

• KE045-090 Bullaun stone
  Description

  This bullaun stone lies against the W side of a N-S running field wall, a few metres N of the main Dingle to Killarney road. It is irregularly-shaped with roughly vertical sides and a flat upper surface. It measures .58m long x .45m wide x .27m thick. A circular depression, with almost vertical sides and a flat bottom, is centrally positioned in the upper surface. It is .24m in diameter and .09m deep. A narrow channel, .15m deep and .02 to .03m wide, extends from the upper edge of the depression to the edge of the stone. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 963. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE045-091 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  The large, irregularly-shaped enclosure at this location is probably relatively modern, and the enclosing walls do not differ significantly in construction or size from adjacent field walls. It measures 53.8m E-W x 60.4m N-S internally and the walls are up to 3m wide and 1.6m high. However, the site is known locally as An Chathair, and the cashel which formerly occupied the site is thought to have been knocked down to provide building material for the present enclosure. There was also reputedly a souterrain at the site (local information; An Seabhac 1939, 199). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 617. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013

There was reputedly a souterrain at the site (local information; An Seabhac 1939, 199). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

• KE045-092 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  A ringfort in this field was apparently destroyed within living memory. It was constructed of earth and stone. A fairly level, roughly semi-circular platform, abutting the S side of the N field wall, may indicate its location. This measures 26m E-W x 20m N-S and is raised a maximum of c. 1.75m above the external ground level on the S downhill side. The perimeter is also raised slightly above the interior. Some of the heaps of stone which occupy the E part of the platform seem to be the remains of walls but are too confused for definite interpretation. The site lies on a fairly steep S facing slope overlooking Dingle Bay and Castlemaine Harbour. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 618. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE045-093 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 22m This cashel and souterrain are situated on a tract of level ground, on the lower S slopes of the coastal mountain ridge that borders the N side of Castlemaine Harbour. The entire site is densely overgrown and could not be inspected in any great detail. The present enclosure is roughly oval, but from E through N to NNW it is now bounded by a curving field wall which may follow the line of the original wall. For the remainder of its circumference the enclosure is bounded by a band of stone collapse which is 5.5m wide and up to 1m high. The souterrain KE045-093001- is located in the NW part of the interior. The accessible portion consists of the E end of a drystone-built passage which measures 1.52m in width, 1.15m in height and at least 2.9m in length. The walls are slightly corbelled so that the passage width is reduced to .8m at roof level. Only the easternmost roof-slab remains in situ. The next roof-slab has collapsed inwards effectively blocking the passage and the original extent of the latter could not be determined. The E wall is slightly curved and a creepway leads E from its base. However, the opening is only .4m wide and .16m high and is blocked after .3m. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 541.
