• KE045-059 Cupmarked stone
  Description

  There is no visible trace or local knowledge of the 'cupped stone' recorded here by the Kerry Archaeological Survey. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 176. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE045-060 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 31m Lisnagrave/Lios na gCraobh: This circular univallate rath, with souterrain, is located on level pastureland, at the highest point of a low, local rise that runs E-W at the foot of Knockafeehane mountain. It is enclosed by an earthen bank and fosse, but the fosse can be traced only in the E quadrant where it is c. 3m wide and .4m deep below the external ground level. The bank survives to a maximum height of 2m externally and 1.2m internally and is c. 3.7m wide at base. Parts of its inner face are strewn with loose stones which may be the remains of drystone revetment walling. A 1m wide entrance gap at NW has either been recently created or modified. A less well-defined gap faces N and measures 1.5m in width. A number of field walls radiate out from the enclosure and one runs along the top of the bank in the NW quadrant. The souterrain occurs in the SW part of the interior. It consists of a short drystone-built passage which now lacks all but 1 of its roofing slabs. The passage is 3.65m long NNW-SSE, 1.05m wide and .65m high. The walls are slightly corbelled and the N and S walls are slightly curved. The S half of the E wall has collapsed and it is possible that the debris conceals the entrance to a 2nd passage or chamber. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 351. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE045-081 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Estimated internal diam. 15m This univallate rath is situated on a W facing slope, in undulating pasture land at the base of Knockafeehane mountain. It was shown on the 1st edition of the OS map as a circular enclosure, but the site is now very densely overgrown and interfered with by field fences, and the earthen enclosing bank can only be traced around the SE half of the site. The bank survives to a maximum height of .9m externally and c. 1.25m internally. Some drystone walling and piles of stone collapse are present in the interior but the dense vegetation prevents an overall view and their origin is not clear. Ashe (1954, 20) noted a possible souterrain (KE045-081001-) at the site. Ogham Stone KE045-081002-: It is possible that this rath was the find-place of the Brackloon ogham stone though the evidence is not altogether clear (Macalister 1945, 166-7). Hitchcock discovered the stone acting as a chimney-breast in a cottage in Ballintermon and was informed that it had been found in the souterrain of a rath in a field called Páirc an Leasa in Brackloon townland. There are 2 known raths in this townland. Hitchcock was informed that the one from which the ogham stone came had been levelled and this rath corresponds more closely to that description than does Lisnagrave (KE045-060----). The field in which this rath is located is known locally as Páirc na Claishe, not Páirc an Leasa, but it is possible that Hitchcock confused the 2 names. The confusion is increased by the fact that Windele (1848, 385-6) was informed that the stone came from a rath in Ballintermon townland. The present whereabouts of the stone is not known. All but 1 letter of the inscription were chipped off to prepare the stone as a chimney-breast. The pieces were presented by Hitchcock to the Royal Irish Academy but were subsequently lost or mislaid. The main stone, with its single letter, was later broken up for walling (Macalister 1897, 53). In 1891 a fragment of an ogham stone was found on a fence in Brackloon townland and it was suggested that this was part of the same stone. It is now in the grounds of Ballinagroun House, near Inch. The inscription reads: (MA)QI MUCC(OI) Macalister also suggested that the Annagap ogham stone (KE044-065001) may have been a part of the same stone, but this now seems unlikely.

• KE045-082 Rock art
  Description

  A standing stone (KE045-083001-), cup-marked stone and possible cist are grouped in close proximity to one another, overlooking the Anascaul valley from the level summit of a local E-W rise in generally undulating pasture at the foot of Knockafeehane. Rock art motifs cover almost the entire surface of the boulder which measures 2.4m x 1.9m x at least .4m thick. There appear to be at least 48 cup-marks, 2 cup-and-circles, one with a radial groove extending through a gap in the circle, a cup-and-radial groove, and also a pair of cup-marks partly enclosed by an incomplete oval. Some of the isolated, curvilinear grooves may be natural. At the NW edge a fragment of the stone has broken away removing part of the design. This fragment was presented to O'Connell (1939, 45), and its present whereabouts is not known. In the 1930's a grave with 'built-up sides, a covering flag and a skeleton inside' (local information) was discovered while ploughing a short distance S of the rock art. Buried near this were 2 or 3 piles of quartz pebbles. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 177. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013 In improved pasture (71m OD), on a gentle W-facing slope, c. 10m to E of field boundary. Good view of Stradbally Mountain and Beenoskee to N and generally good landscape view toward Dingle, to W; Views are slightly obscured by field boundary and housing estate NW->NE. The decorated surface is as depicted by Cuppage (1986, 57; Fig. 35c), however some of the stone is now covered by vegetation particularly on W side. A smooth and fractured sandstone (dims. 1.80m N-S; 1.60m E-W; max. H 0.55m at N) with a rectangular decorated surface (dims. 1.30m N-S; 1.00m E-W) having a S-facing aspect. A fracture (long-axis NNW-SSE) traverses W side of decorated surface and is filled with grass and moss; A roughly triangular fracture is at N end of fracture, as described by Cuppage (ibid). The motifs are in good condition and consist of three partial cup-and-ring motifs (overall diam. 15cm; ring Wth 1-1.5cm; D 3mm; cup diam. 5-7cm; D 8mm) having an incomplete ring which is very faint and difficult to trace. There are thirty-eight cupmarks (diam. 5-10cm; D 6-12mm) which occupy most of the decorated surface. A standing stone (KE045-083001-) is c. 30m to E.

• KE045-082001 Cist
  Description

  In the SMR and the RMP a cist (KE045-083002-) was associated with the standing stone (KE045-083001-). According to Cuppage (1986, 62), the cist was found a short distance south of rock art (KE045-082----) which is in the same field as the standing stone. Cist described by Cuppage (1986, 62) as follows; 'A standing stone (86) [KE045-083001-], cup-marked stone [KE045-082----] and possible cist are grouped in close proximity to one another, overlooking the Anascaul valley from the level summit of a local E-W rise in generally undulating pasture at the foot of Knockafeehane.

  Description

  A standing stone, cup-marked stone and possible cist (KE045-082----) are grouped in close proximity to one another, overlooking the Anascaul valley from the level summit of a local E-W rise, in generally undulating pastureland at the foot of Knockafeehane. The standing stone measures 1.24m x .65m at base, the sides rising irregularly to a pointed top at a height of 3.25m; E-W. A simple Latin cross with expanded terminals has been added to the N face about 1.25m from the base. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE045-084 Souterrain
  Description

  The 'unusually extensive' souterrain recorded by Ashe (1954, 20) is located on gently sloping pastureland on the lower NW slopes of Knockafeehane with an excellent outlook over the Anascaul Valley to N and W. The accessible portion is roughly L-shaped in plan and consists of 2 small, rectangular chambers linked by a short creepway. Chamber 1, orientated E-W, is rectangular in plan with a slightly curved end wall at W. It measures 3.4m long, a maximum of 1.25m high and is 1m wide at base. The upper 2 to 3 courses of the drystone-built walls are corbelled, thus reducing the chamber width, at roof level, to c. 0.6m. Seven flat slabs roof the chamber, one overlying a .15m wide gap between 2 others. Access is gained by removing the 2nd last roof slab from the W end. Two upright slabs, extending the full width of the E end wall, flank the lintelled entrance to the short drystone-walled creepway which opens onto the S end of the W wall of chamber 2. Roofed by 3 flat slabs, the easternmost being cracked, the creepway measures lm in length, .42m in width and up to .56m in height. Chamber 2 is 1.1m wide, c. 1.1m high, and at least 2m long. Its N end is completely blocked by collapsed earth and stones. The debris extend across the floor partly blocking and infilling the creepway and rendering access difficult. The walls are constructed of upright slabs overlain by drystone walling, the upper courses being slightly corbelled. It is roofed by 4 flat slabs. The remainder of the souterrain is inaccessible and there is no record of its exact size or layout other than Ashe's brief comment. Though known locally as 'Ferriter's Fort', there is no trace of any associated monument. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.
