Tobernasool/Tobar na Súl or Tobar an Leasa: Situated 300m from the seashore on the W side of Brandon Bay. Excavation of a drain led to the destruction of the well but it has been described as a spring about 3 feet wide (OSNB Cloghane, 30) or as 'hardly more than a muddy hole' (Ó Danachair 1960, 71-2). During the digging of the drain a 'cave' was discovered but not fully explored (local information). This may have been a souterrain and the alternative name for the well, Tobar an Leasa, suggests that there may formerly have been a ringfort in the vicinity as well.

There are several accounts of a burial ground at the back of the strand between Brandon village and Caher point, on the W side of Brandon Bay. Different locations are indicated by each account and there are no surviving remains visible at any of these. It is therefore not clear whether some of the locational details are incorrect or whether there is more than one burial ground; the former seems more likely. 'Headstones, boards and bones' were exposed by the action of the sea, sometime during the first half of the 19th century (OSNB Cloghane, 29), about 6 chains (120m) W of Carrignakilla. However, the location of the burial ground was later described as 'near Brandon Quay, between 2 sand-banks' (Hitchcock 1852, 136). Local information places it at the above co-ordinates, about 300 to 400m W of Carrignakilla and about 500m S of Brandon Quay. It is known locally as Clais na Marbh.

On a gentle SE facing slope, overlooking Brandon Bay 300m to W, a heavily overgrown mound of stone, 3.5 x 4m x c. 1.2m high, overlies a souterrain passage, 2.5m long E-W and completely blocked by collapse at either end. Though inaccessible, a low gap beneath the W roof slab provides a view of the drystone-built passage which is 1m wide and up to .5m high above the debris covering the floor; its flagged roof lies .25m above the present level of the surrounding land. 1.5m from the W end the roof is lowered by c. 0.2m, but it is not known whether this is merely a constriction of the passage or whether it marks the entrance to a 2nd passage or chamber. Known locally as An Lios. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 741.

Marked on the 1st edition of the OS map as 'Dermot and Grania's Bed', this feature was described in the OSNB (Cloghane, 36) as 'a small heap of stones'. No visible trace survives.

Internal diam. 37m A cashel containing traces of 2 or possibly 3 huts and a now inaccessible souterrain. It crowns a local eminence (58 feet/18m OD) about 200m from Caher Point on the W side of Brandon Bay. The natural scarp falls steeply away from the site on its E side but gradually levels out towards the W. The wall is not well preserved but a dense band of collapse, up to 10m wide, encircles the interior. However, the drystone built outer face of the wall is visible along the NE quadrant where it reaches a maximum height of .9m. A trench has recently been dug along the mound of collapse from N to W to supply stones for building and other purposes. A short stretch of the wall face has been exposed by this activity towards the N end and it appears that only the core material has been disturbed. For most of its circumference the inner face of the wall is surmounted by a modern field wall and it is not always possible to distinguish between the two. The earlier wall appears to have been stepped and, where best preserved at SSE, the lower step is .15m high and .45m wide and the wall rises a further .7m above this. The wall is 4.4m thick. A track crosses the interior between a break in the wall at WSW and 2 breaks at NE. It is not clear which of these was the original entrance. In the WNW sector of the interior a band of grass-grown collapse outlines the site of a hut and there is a faint suggestion of a 2nd hut immediately to SW. Within the remains of the wall of the 1st hut, a short section of a drystone-built souterrain passage has been exposed by the removal of a roofing slab. It is c. 0.66m wide but is infilled almost to the roof. It appears to run in a N-S direction and may have turned W from its N end but this is not certain. A very disturbed, sub-circular spread of stones, immediately SE of the centre of the enclosure, may mark the site of a 3rd hut but can equally well be interpreted as clearance debris.

In the WNW sector of the interior a band of grass-grown collapse outlines the site of a hut and there is a faint suggestion of a 2nd hut immediately to SW. A very disturbed, sub-circular spread of stones, immediately SE of the centre of the enclosure, may mark the site of a 3rd hut but can equally well be interpreted as clearance debris.

An Seabhac (1939, 222) noted the ruins of a possible church KE026-022001- in Gort an Bhráthar, a field on the NW side of a low hillock c. 200m from the W shore of Brandon Bay. The discovery of section of the head of a round-headed doorway, now in the field fence bounding the SW side of the adjacent field to W, confirms the existence of a church-site in this general area but its precise location has not been identified. In 1953, the Co. Kerry Field Club noted that the NW corner of a building was incorporated in a field fence and that the N and S walls of the building were visible as low mounds; this they interpreted as a church. An irregular area of stone collapse, apparently the ruins of a stonewalled structure, lie about 12m S of Gort an Bhráthar and may be the remains of the church. A shell midden was previously discovered in the adjacent S corner of Gort an Bhráthar and a decorated bronze object (NMI 1931:103) has also been found in the vicinity. The section of the chamfered head of a round-headed doorway is carved from sandstone and exhibits punch dressing. Two other dressed stones were unearthed with this (CKFC) but are now missing.

On the OS maps a circular enclosure, less than 30m in diameter, is marked about 100m from the W shore of Brandon Bay on a gentle SE to E facing slope. This was levelled in 1981 along with several field walls in the immediate vicinity (local information). The SE sector of the site is now represented by a level area with slight traces of a stony bank along its outer edge. The N half of the site is marked merely by a scatter of small stones which remain from the removal of either the field walls or the enclosing bank or wall. The above description is derived from J.
