• KE004-003 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  The next headland S of Leek Castle (987) is called Tonalassa (Tóin an Leasa - bottom of the ringfort). To the SSE of this promontory lies a small rath (215). With the landward side at the SE, the promontory extends outward in the shape of a boot. It measures 102m long NW-SE and 56m in maximum width. The landward side of the promontory has been provided with a high steep bank which contains stone facing and a wide fosse. The fosse is traversed by a causeway c2m wide. The fosse measures 65m long and on average 5m in width, and has a maximum height below the surrounding land of 1.5m. According to Westropp (1909) there was an outer bank that has been completely levelled; material from this bank has filled some of the fosse. The axis of the bank is NE-SW and rises to a maximum height of 5m above the fosse; its width ranges from 7m to 8m at the base. The internal height of the bank above the interior measures c2m. About 13m from the N cliff there is a gap measuring 8m in width. As one enters the promontory through this gap, on the left are the remains of a tower that was built earlier this century as a lookout during WWI. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 103.

• KE004-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 12m Lisdoonaflan/Lios Dún na bhFlann (ringfort of (the) fortification of Na Flainn - personal name 'Flann', in plural). This site is situated on boggy land and land SE of Tonalassa promontory fort (KE004-003----). It consists of a raised inner circular area measuring 11.5m x 10m internally and this is enclosed by a shallow fosse and outer bank. The fosse measures 1.8m in width and .3m below the raised inner area. The enclosing earthen bank is low and measures 1m externally and 1m above the fosse. The width of the bank at the base measures on average 3m. To the S there is a 4m wide gap in the bank. The entrance lies to the E and a slab 1m x .5m of the S jamb stone remains.

• KE004-005 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 45m E-W Lisroe/Lios Rua (russet ringfort). Situated in low-lying land, the main Ballybunnion-Beal road runs in a SW-NE direction, cutting this site from the NE to S. All that remains of the site today is a sub-semicircular area enclosed by an earthen bank and exterior fosse. A fieldbank runs from the S to the SW and W; this is possibly part of this univallate rath. An earthen ridge runs in an E-W direction from the end-curve of the earthern bank eastwards. S of this is a triangular area of marshy land. The exterior height of the bank measures 1.8m and the interior 1.2m. On average the width of the bank at the base measures 4m. A very slight exterior fosse is evident around the earthen bank that remains; it measures .8m wide and .5m deep. Five small breaks appear in the bank, but they would all appear to be secondary. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 216.

• KE004-066 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Promontory fort described in 2002 as follows; 'Two fingers of land jut out 40m from a broad headland immediately south of ‘Tonalassa’ promontory fort [KE004-003----]. The northerly [KE004-066----] of the two is shaped like a narrow triangle and is cut off from the main promontory by a straight 1.5m wide earthen bank and shallow external fosse. The other headland [KE004-067----] has two shallow ditches 1m wide 5m apart running across the westerly extremity of the promontory. This headland is subrectangular in plan, measuring 18m in width. Neither has any trace of an entrance gap and evidence of earlier cultivation ridges is visible on the southernmost headland. The earthen bank running along the coastline does not include either headland. The area generally is one of gently undulating fertile cleared and drained pasture. The barrow immediately to the east has been wrongly described in the archaeological survey as a rath [KE004-004----]' (Casey 2002, 27, no. G).
