• KE053-035 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Lisín an Chomhraic: The circular univallate enclosure marked on the 1st edition of the OS map no longer survives. It lay at a T-junction of 2 roads, and in the early 19th century part of the bank was visible on each side of the road (OSNB Garfinny, 30). The S bank of the E-W road is slightly curved and may follow roughly the line of the original enclosure. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 609. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE053-072 Souterrain
  Description

  In September 1976 a souterrain was discovered while ploughing a level field less than 300m from the entrance to Dingle Harbour. It was inspected by Fanning (OPW) prior to being closed up again and is now inaccessible. The accessible elements were roughly L-shaped in plan and consisted of 2 chambers, one rectangular, and the other D-shaped, connected by a narrow creepway. Another passage was discovered in the same field some years ago (local information). The rectangular chamber, orientated N-S, measured 2.7m in length and 1m in width at base, though slight corbelling of the side walls reduced the width to c. 0.7m at roof level. The walls were of drystone construction, the stones varying in size from .6 x .2m to .2 x .1m; smaller spalls filled the interstices. Five flat lintels roofed the 1.6m high chamber, and access was gained by removing the southernmost. A simple creepway opened from the W end of the S wall and extended 1.1m to the NE corner of the D-shaped chamber. Averaging .5m in width and .5m in height, it was constructed of upright slabs and roofed by 2 flat lintels. The provision of an arch stone about midway along further restricted access, the aperture being only .4m wide and .3m high. The D-shaped chamber, 1.8m E-W x 1m N-S, was of similar construction to the 1st chamber, but it had partly collapsed and had been interfered with; no roofing slabs remained in situ. A narrow passage, .45m wide, led away from the NW corner but could be traced for only a very short distance due to collapse. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 743. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE053-073 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 24m The site of this univallate rath with souterrain was shown on the OS maps only as a small subrectangular field. However, the outline of the SW half of the rath, probably originally circular, is indicated partly by a curving field wall, and, along the W sector, by what is probably the original bank. The latter is 2m wide, 1.4m high externally and no more than .5m high internally. The N and E sides of the present enclosure are defined by straight field walls. There is no visible trace of the souterrain KE053-073001- which lay near the S edge of the enclosure. It consisted of at least 1 chamber or passage and a creepway (local information). The only feature now visible in the interior is a grass-grown cairn of stones with a slight central depression. This measures 3.5m x 2.5m x a maximum of .6m in height. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 349. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013

• KE053-074 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on level ground on the summit of the low rise that borders Dingle Bay between the entrances to Dingle Harbour and Trabeg, this site consists of a small, slightly raised circular area, 4m in diameter, enclosed by a bank measuring .75m in height and lm in width. The dense vegetation prevents a close examination of the bank but it appears to be composed of both stone and earth. There is a possible entrance at N. The site is known locally as a fort. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1532.

• KE053-075 Standing stone
  Description

  Situated on the summit of the low rise bordering Dingle Bay between the entrances to Dingle Harbour and Trabeg, this standing stone is 1.4m high and measures a maximum of 1.8m x .55m at base, the sides rising straight to a flat top; E-W. It inclines slightly to NNW. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 85.

• KE053-076 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  On the E side of the entrance to Dingle Harbour, NW of Beenbane Head, a promontory juts 42m SW into Dingle Bay. It is isolated from the mainland by a bank and external fosse c. 16m long. The bank is 1.5m wide and 1.2m high above the base of the fosse. The fosse is 3m wide and less than .5m deep externally. About 7m from the NW end of the bank is a barely discernible break, c. 1.5m wide, which may represent the remains of a causewayed entrance. A hollow or depression on the SE of the interior is probably natural. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 267. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013
