• KE044-105 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  This roughly circular ringfort has been almost completely destroyed. The outlines of the bank and fosse are still vaguely discernible as a crop mark. The enclosure appears to have been about 44m in overall diameter and the bank was about 4m wide at base. Ashe (1954) described the site as bivallate but there is no trace now of an outer bank. He also noted a large souterrain. The site lies close to the N side of the main Dingle to Anascaul road, on a SE facing slope with good views in all directions.

• KE054-037 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Labbynamna Fort/Leabaidh an Fhámaire: This was described in the OSM as 'an old fort much ruined' and no visible trace now survives. It was located about 50m E of a stream which flows to Minard Bay. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 631.

• KE054-053 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 33.5m N-S, 31m E-W A circular univallate rath situated on a very gentle W facing slope, in the triangle of land that lies S of the Dingle to Tralee road, between 2 streams which flow S to Minard Bay. The earthen enclosing bank is up to 1.5m high externally and .75m high internally, but it has been almost completely removed along the NE quadrant. An 8m wide break in the bank at SE probably marks the location of the original entrance. A field fence bisects the enclosure N-S and the only other features visible in the interior are 3 depressions of uncertain origin. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 341. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE054-054 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 16.8m E-W, 15.5m N-S A roughly circular bivallate rath situated in the large triangle of land that lies S of the Dingle to Anascaul road, between 2 streams which flow S to Minard. The outer bank was formerly continuous (2nd edition OS map), but has now been removed along the N side of the enclosure. The SW section is used and maintained as a field boundary and is therefore more substantial than the SE section which is .8m high externally and 1.6m high above the base of the fosse. The inner bank rises 2.65m above the fosse and 1.1m above the interior. Its inner flank is faced with drystone masonry, now considerably collapsed. Access to the interior is by means of a causewayed entrance at SE, the gaps in the inner and outer banks being 2m and 5.5m wide respectively. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 342.

• KE054-055 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the 2nd edition of the OS map this site is shown as a circular bivallate enclosure, the outer bank present around the N half of the site only. The only visible trace at present is a band of darker green grass which indicates the outline of the infilled fosse. It was located in the large triangle of land that lies between the main Dingle to Anascaul road and 2 streams that flow S to Minard Bay. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 630.
