Recorded monuments

• KE034-052 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Calluragh Burial Ground/An Cheallúnach: Children were buried here until at least the 1840's (OSNB Kilquane, 30) when the site was described as 'a small square plot about 1.5 chains (30m) each side'. The present remains abut the SE side of a field wall, which kinks outwards at this point, and consist of an irregularly-shaped platform, measuring 17.5m WSW-ENE x 11.2m NNW-SSE. The stony upper surface of the platform lies c. 2m above the general level of the field and the upper portion, c. 1m high, appears to be crudely stone-faced in places. Two low uprights, 1.2m and .65m high, are probably grave-markers and the loose stones scattered on the platform surface include some quartz. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 884.

• KE034-053 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 20.8m. A univallate rath situated on a very gentle S facing slope about 150m N of the Feohanagh river. The interior is raised above the level of the surrounding field so that, though the enclosing bank rises only slightly above the interior, it is c. 1.25m high externally. The enclosure is located at the junction of 3 fields, and for most of its circumference the bank is faced externally with drystone walling which may be secondary. The N portion of the bank is obscured by vegetation but appears to consist of a stone wall c. 1m high. A blocked-up entrance gap occurs at E. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 322. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
