• KE052-049 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 20 to 25m This site is located in rough mountain terrain, on a SW facing slope overlooking Ventry Harbour. It is comprised of a well-preserved souterrain and 2 hut sites enclosed by the very fragmentary remains of a possible cashel wall. A modern field wall bisects the site N-S, and the souterrain is located immediately to W of this and the huts immediately to E of it. A 3rd hut is located c. 55m to SSE of the site. Only 2 short sections of the possible cashel wall are visible. A 7m long arc of large, horizontally-laid slabs may represent the outer face of its W section, while the inner face of its NE section may be represented by an arc of drystone walling, up to .4m high. The enclosure thus defined is c. 20 to 25m in diameter internally. Huts: The 2 huts are conjoined with each other and lie in a rough N-S line about 5m to ESE of the souterrain entrance. The S hut consists of a circular depression measuring 5.4m in diameter and c. 0.8m in depth. This is surrounded by a slight stony bank, 1.6m wide and .4m high externally. The entrance must have been located in the W sector where the bank is non-existent and the external ground level only slightly higher than the interior. The N hut consists of an oval hollow measuring 5.9m NW-SE x 4.9m NE-SW. The depression is up to 1.25m deep and is lined with drystone walling. It is open along the SW and W sectors i.e. from S to NW. The 3rd hut is very dilapidated but appears to have been circular in plan and c. 4m in diameter internally. The wall is reduced to a low stony bank, .8m high internally, .3m high externally and c. 0.75m wide, and a couple of short stretches of the inner wall face are visible. The S facing entrance is represented by a featureless gap. Souterrain: The souterrain is L-shaped in plan, consisting of a passage and chamber linked by a short creepway. The passage runs SE-NW for a total length of 3.5m and the creepway links its NW end to the NE corner of the oval chamber which is aligned SW-NE. The passage is in 2 parts. The 1st section is 1.35m long x .55m wide and increases from .5m in height at its SE end to .65m at its NW end; the sloping floor may be due to an accumulation of fill in this entrance area. The 1st half of this section is unroofed but 2 slabs roof the 2nd half. The walls are of dry stone construction except for one upright slab which rises the full height of the passage. The 2nd section of the passage commences with a lowering of the roof at the NW end of the 1st section. At this point the passage is only .5m wide and .45m high, but the fill on its floor gradually fades out and the 2nd section of the passage measures 2.15m in length, up to .8m in width and up to .7m in height. The walls are of dry stone construction and the passage is roofed by a series of flat slabs. The creepway which opens off the NW end of the passage measures .58m in width and up to .65m in height. Its side walls are each formed by 2 upright slabs. Two jamb stones, set between and at right angles to these slabs, reduce the width of the entrance to only .4m at its mid-point. The creepway is roofed by 3 lintels, the middle one being stepped below the other two. The chamber measures 2.5m x 1.55m x c. 1.4m in height. The walls are constructed of upright slabs, .35 to .6m high, overlain by dry stone masonry. The upper 2 courses are formed by larger stones which are corbelled inwards to support the 5 roofing slabs. The latter are stepped downwards from SW to NE and are laid in a slightly fan shape, so that, though the SW roof slab is aligned NW-SE, the NE slab is also the 1st slab of the entrance passage and is aligned NE-SW. The SW roof slab has collapsed inwards and the easiest access to the chamber is by means of the aperture this has created. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE052-054 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 28m. This circular rath lies on a gentle, S facing slope overlooking Ventry Harbour. The earthen enclosing bank is a maximum of 2.2m high and is partly faced with drystone walling, now largely concealed by vegetation. The fosse is present only around the SE half of the site. It is 4.75m wide and c. 2.2m deep below the outer wall or stone-faced bank. This latter formerly encircled the enclosure (2nd edition of OS map) but survives now only around the SE half of the site; it may be a later feature related to the modern field boundary system. Access to the interior is provided by gaps in the bank at W and SE. The former has recently been enlarged and is now 3.5m wide. The latter is 3m wide, and a slight causeway leads across the fosse at this point to a modern gap in the outer wall. Though the remains of stone structures are visible in the interior, their ruined and overgrown condition precludes definite interpretation. One in the NE sector appears to be D-shaped or rectangular in outline and c. 3m long, but its wall is no more than .75m high. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE052-055 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 27m. This circular rath lies on a S facing slope overlooking Ventry Harbour and contains the remains of a single hut. The site straddles a N-S field boundary but the field fence breaks to respect the monument and does not traverse it. The earthen enclosing bank is a maximum of 1.5m high internally and 3.2m high externally, and there are fragmentary traces of drystone facing along its inner flank. An external fosse is present around the W half of the site only. It is 3.4m wide and 1.25m deep. Drystone facing, up to .3m high, occurs for a very short distance on the inner edge of the fosse at SW, and it is possible that the dense vegetation on the site obscures further traces of this feature. A very low outer bank is also present around the W half of the enclosure, but it is possible that this is the remains of a disused field fence. The 2m wide entrance gap faces S. The ruined remains of a clochaun lie in the centre of the enclosure. It is 4.7m in diameter and the wall is generally reduced to a band of stone collapse, .7m wide and up to .8m high. Only very short stretches of the wall faces survive. The entrance was probably at the SW point. A low platform, .2m high and c. 3m wide, abuts the inner edge of the bank at SW; its origin is not clear. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE052-056 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  A small promontory projecting southwards into Ventry Harbour is defended to N by a single bank and fosse. No local name survives for the fort but the names Fothair na Mná and Faill na Mná are applied to nearby features (An Seabhac 1939, 49), and the latter is used by Westropp (1910, 278) to identify the site. The outer fosse is 20.5m long and 3.5m wide. It slopes gently westwards so that the bottom of the fosse at E is only 1.75m below the external ground level whereas, at W, it is 3m deep. The bank of earth and stone rises from 2 to 3.8m above the fosse. Internally it is 3m high. The inner space isolated by these defences extends 20m southwards and is enclosed by a later wall with internal fosse which skirts the cliff edge. In the W sector is a level platform, about 6m in diameter and up to 1m high, with a central depression measuring at least 2m in diameter and less than .5m deep. This may be the remains of a circular hut-site. Westropp described such a feature at the SE edge of the site, but no trace of it survives there. Access to the site is by means of a path worn down the outer flank of the fosse and running around the E end of the bank. This continues down the cliff to the sea below and is not an original feature. The entrance may have been at this E edge but, if so, it has now fallen into the sea.

• KE052-289 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Ballymore Point, a fairly level NE-SW running promontory, marks the E side of the entrance to Ventry Harbour. About midway along the promontory, a low bank and external fosse extend 28m across the promontory from near the NW edge to within 16m of the SE edge. The bank is only 1m high and 2m wide and the fosse measures .5m deep and 1.25m wide. Abutting the bank at its SE end is a rectangular hut-site, 3 x 4.5m, with an enclosing bank, .5m high. A later wall with a slight internal fosse skirts the edge of the cliff isolating 2 smaller promontories to SW and S. At the W edge of the latter is a D-shaped enclosure measuring 2.2m x 2m with banks less than .3m high; the W side has fallen into the sea. This is probably a hut-site. A larger depression to E of the latter seems to result from quarrying, perhaps for material for the later walls. Although the defences are very slight, the presence of hut-sites, and the local name for the site, An Dúinín (An Seabhac 1939, 49), suggest it is a promontory fort. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 264.

• KE052-305 Hut site
  Description

  Hut site described by Cuppage (1986, 191, no. 544) as follows; 'This site is located in rough mountain terrain, on a SW facing slope overlooking Ventry Harbour. It is comprised of a well-preserved souterrain [KE052-049002-] and 2 hut sites [KE052-049001-/003-] enclosed by the very fragmentary remains of a possible cashel wall [KE052-049----]. A modern field wall bisects the site N-S, and the souterrain is located immediately to W of this and the huts immediately to E of it. A 3rd hut is located c. 55m to SSE of the site. The 3rd hut is very dilapidated but appears to has. been circular in plan and c. 4m in diameter internally. The wall is reduced to a low stony bank, 0.8m high internally, 0.3m high externally and c. 0.75m wide, and a couple of short stretches of the inner wall face are visible. The S facing entrance is represented by a featureless gap'.

• KE053-056 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Tobermichael/Tobar Michíl: A spring well now surrounded by a concrete wall. A small cross-inscribed stone stands upright on the parapet of the nearby bridge. The stone is 0.32m high, 0.18m wide and 0.1m thick and its N and S faces bear plain Latin crosses. A pattern was formerly held here on Michaelmas day and rounds are still made by a few (Ó Danachair 1960, 74). Holy well described by Ó Danachair (1960, 74) as 'a good spring in a little rectangular cistern; on the bridge nearby is a small upright slab with a plain cross incised. Rounds are still made by a few on Michaelmas. Nine circuits of the well are made while reciting a rosary; pebbles are used to count the rounds; water is drunk and applied for the cure of headache, toothache, warts and other ailments, and small objects are left as offerings. Formerly, large numbers came on Michaelmas and held a pattern. Water is taken for domestic use. Legend : The fish which lives in the well was taken with some water, which would not boil until the fish was restored to the well'. See attached photographs of Tobermichael, Co.

• KE053-099 Ogham stone
  Description

  Discovered in 2013 in the course of excavating a pit beside a mobile home. The stone, 0.25m long, is a sandstone fragment and contains the remnants of an ogham inscription in the scholastic scribal tradition whereby the arris or stemline is drawn on the stone rather than on the edge with the letters written with respect to this line. In this instance only a few letters survive and they most likely read SIGA . . . The stone is currently in private possession. Compiled by: Fionnbarr Moore Date of upload: 5 July 2013
