Recorded monuments

• KE056-010 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 16m E-W This poorly preserved univallate rath is located in pasture adjacent to the S bank of the Laune. A NW-SE field boundary bisects the site, and no trace survives of the enclosing element on its W side. Elsewhere the bank, which is composed of earth and stone, is preserved to an average external height of 1.8m and is 1m wide. Dense overgrowth extends over the bank into the apparently featureless interior. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 462.

  Description

It falls 1.15m to a level, though apparently featureless, interior. A 1m wide gap in the enclosing element at SW may mark the sites's original entrance. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 463.
