- KE058-099 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on the break of a W-facing slope. A circular area (31m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank (ext. H 1.5m) which has a gentle inward slope. The bank, which is planted with coniferous trees, is slightly damaged in places by cattle. There is a possible entrance (Wth 2.5m) at S. A depression, covered by overgrowth, along the SE arc may be the remains of a shallow fosse. The interior is concave. There is a possible souterrain (KE058-099001-) and a possible hut site (KE058-099002-) in the NW quadrant. This is probably the rath mentioned in the 1840s as being a 'little N.W. of Ballynamaanagh House' (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 5).

- KE058-099001 Souterrain
Description
In a rath (KE058-099----). A partially exposed rock in the NW quadrant of the rath covers a small opening which reveals a stone-built cavity (min. L 2m) extending to the NNE. There is a possible hut site (KE058-099002-) immediately to the NE of the souterrain. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE058-099002 Hut site
Description
Within the NW quadrant of a rath (KE058-099----). The remains of a slightly raised, circular area (diam. 7.5m E-W) defined by a stony bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.35m). There is a central depression with a stony base within the interior of this possible hut. A possible souterrain (KE058-099001-) is immediately to the SW.

- KE058-100 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on a NW-facing slope, towards the top of a low hill. A roughly circular area (28m N-S; 26.5m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.65m) N-SE and by a scarp (H 2.2m) SE-N. Slight traces of an outer fosse (Wth c. 3.3m) are evident E-SE. There is a slightly raised, stony area along the top edge of the scarp at W. Boulders and stones are piled up against the scarp along the E arc. The interior appears to be raised at W to compensate for the hillslope. It slopes gently down towards an entrance (Wth 2m) at E. An earth and stone ridge (L 7m; Wth c. 1.3m; H 0.5m), on a NW-SE axis, is situated in the NE quadrant. There is possible stone-facing on the bank at the N side of the entrance. There is a cattle gap at SE. This is the rath, called 'Ballynamaanagh Fort' and which had a trigonometrical station in it, which was recorded in the 1840s (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 5). A roughly oval depression (14m N-S; 8m E-W; D c. 0.2m), kinking inwards along the E and W arcs, is c. 14m to the SE of the rath.

- KE058-101 Barrow - unclassified
Description
In pasture, on a low hill. A roughly circular raised area (27m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5m) which is slightly denuded along the S and W arcs. The bank is stone-faced externally, especially along the S, SW and N arcs and there cattle gaps at S and NNW. Field boundaries (on NW-SE and NE-SW axes) have been incorporated into this bank along the NE and SE arcs. The interior is almost entirely occupied by a central circular mound (diam. 1.6m; H 0.1m) which is surrounded by three concentric earthen banks (Wth 1.4-2.3m; int. H 0.1-0.3m; ext. H 0.1-0.5m) and an arc of a fourth bank (Wth 1.4m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.1m), which is evident NW-NE. This is probably the 'Danish Fort' described in the 1840s as being in the SE end of Ballynamaunagh (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 5).

- KE058-155 Country house
Description
Located c. 1.2km SW of Kilcummin village to the W of a minor road. An abandoned two-storey, double gable-ended house. The front elevation is E-facing and of five bays with a central one-bay. The central door has a semicircular fanlight and sidelights and a Venetian window overhead. Other window opes are rectangular with sash frames. There is a chimney on each of the four gables. There is a roofless two-storey projection at right angles to the rear. The house is of 18th-century appearance; according to local information, its rear section is the oldest. There is an adjacent walled garden to the W, a farmyard with stone outhouses to the NW and a ruined one-storey gate lodge c. 300m to the S.

- KE058-474 Designed landscape - avenue
Description
In improved pasture, on former grounds of Mount Prospect House (KE058-155----), on a S-facing slope. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as the low remains of an arc of bank. Levelled remains of gently curving bank (long axis c. E-W; L c. 60m). This bank (overall Wth 6.6m; Wth at top 2m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.7m) curves gently (long-axis NW-SE) to NW at its western end. This is location of former entrance avenue (long axis N-S) to Mount Prospect House, which is depicted upon all OS historic mapping. A level terrace is located upslope to N. The curvilinear earthwork and terrace may be the remains of landscape features associated with Mount Prospect House. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 13 January 2016
- KE058-475 Fulacht fia
Description
In improved pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as the low remains of a small enclosure. There is no visible surface trace of an enclosure at this location. Horseshoe shaped mound (dims. 11m N-S; 9m E-W) of heat shattered stone (H 0.35m); Opening (Wth 2.0m) to W. Well depicted to N upon later historic OS six inch map. Mound is not depicted or named upon OS historic mapping. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 13 January 2016
- KE059-013 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, at the top of an E-facing slope overlooking a tributary of the Deenagh River. A circular area (diam. 30m) defined by a bank (Wth 6.2m; H 0.6m) which is stone-faced internally along the ESE arc. The external face of the bank E-SE has been cut into, forming an almost vertical face. The interior is concave and slightly flat in the centre. Loose stones are scattered in the SE quadrant. There is a shallow circular depression against the internal face of the bank at SE. A break in the bank at E (Wth c. 4m) has been infilled with a stone deposit which extends into the interior. There is a possible entrance (Wth c. 2.5m) at NW. A rectangular recess, which is stone-lined and cut into the external face of the bank at SW, is possibly the remains of a limekiln. This rath was recorded in the 1840s as 'Lissavoggy' because of 'being surrounded by a soft boggy place' (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 3, 30).
