• KE053-007 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 45.8m SW-NE, 42.9m SE-NW. This roughly circular univallate rath is located at the foot of the S slopes of Monaree Hill, overlooking Ballymore village. Though the outline of the enclosure is still preserved, much of the earthen enclosing bank has been replaced by or incorporated into a later bank. The latter is low and narrow and is faced on both sides with drystone masonry. The original bank survives around less than half the perimeter on the N side and also for a 9m long stretch to E of the SE facing entrance. It is up to 2.5m high externally and 1.5m high internally. A laneway skirts the enclosure to W and NW. The entrance has been disturbed by the field fence which bisects the enclosure WNW-ENE, and it is now 3 to 4m wide. The stone-faced gap at NE is a secondary feature. The interior is raised above the external ground level on the downhill side. It is now occupied by a series of cultivation ridges, but 2 shallow depressions, to NE of the dividing field wall, may be the remains of hut sites (KE053-007002- & KE053-007003-). A roughly circular depression to S of those may relate to the souterrain KE053-007001- which is locally reputed to be present. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 325. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
