• KE081-015 Standing stone
  Description

  The 'Gallaun' marked on the second edition of the OS map was located immediately S of the juncture of the Inny and Owroe rivers. The land in which it stood has recently been ploughed and there is no visible trace of the stone. 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. 225. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013

• KE081-016 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 30m Caherbaun/An Chathair Bhán: This ruined caher, located on top of a low hill, survives as a circular area enclosed by a collapsed wall. The wall is heavily overgrown, averaging 3.5m wide and up to 1m high above external ground level. The outer wall-face is completely obscured and the inner face, where exposed, appears to have been rebuilt. It is not clear if the modern entrance located at N occupies the site of the original entrance. A galvanised hayshed is located in the centre of the disturbed interior of the caher. 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. 555.

• KE081-023 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Gortakilleen Burial Ground: This site, noted in the OSNB as an unenclosed burial place for children (Drummod, 21), is located in level pasture on the S bank of the Inny river. It consists of an approximately semicircular enclosure which measures 27m N-S x 54m E-W. It is formed on its N side by the river's 2m high meander scarp, and is defined elsewhere by a gapped earthen bank which is preserved to an average height of 1.2m and measures 1.8m wide. The overgrown interior has up to 100 uninscribed grave-markers, most of which are concentrated in its E half. Two stone-lined wells, formerly visible within the enclosure, and an old tree at its S end, acted as focal points for a pattern that was held here on Good Fridays up until the 1950s (local information). O'Connell reported ‘a particularly fine gullane known locally as a font' here (The Kerryman, 28/1/1939); this feature is no longer visible and may have been a bullaun stone. The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 983.

• KE081-029 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 17.8m N-S, 19.5m E-W This ruined caher is located in an old forestry plantation on the S side of the Inny river, close to the head of its valley. It is situated on a natural terrace in land that otherwise slopes down to N. Trees grow within the roughly circular interior of the site and on its enclosing wall. Much of the wall has collapsed outwards, particularly at S, but it is otherwise well-constructed of horizontal courses of small boulder-like slabs which face a rubble core. It survives to a maximum external height at N of 1.2m, averages .6m high above the interior and is c. 3m wide. Though no gap occurs in the enclosing wall it seems probable that the entrance was located at E, where the wall is poorly preserved. Here, two upright slabs, set 1.2m apart, flank the inner face of the wall; they average 1.15m x .65m x .2m. Opposing them, at the outer face of the wall, is an upright and a prostrate slab, also set 1.2m apart and of similar dimensions. A lintelled opening to a souterrrain (KE081-029001-) is located in the NE quadrant of the caher's interior. Measuring .55m x .2m, it gives access to a blocked passage which is aligned N-S. 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. 556.
