Recorded monuments

• KE065-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  This poorly preserved univallate rath is located in good grazing land a short distance W of Tullynascally stream, and affords broad views over low-lying pastureland to E. It is noted as 'Lisin an Fhearainn' by Ó Cíobháin (1978, 52). The enclosing bank of earth and stone is densely overgrown and survives only as a low scarp along the W sector. At E it survives to a maximum height of 1.85m above external ground level and averages 2.1m in basal width and .85m in internal height. The interior of the site is featureless and the original entrance is not discernible. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 472.

• KE065-034 Fulacht fia
  Description

  This site, known locally as a cooking place, was levelled by ploughing around the 1960s. It consisted of a mound of shattered stone and was located in poor land, close to the W bank of Tullynascally stream. There is no longer any visible trace of the monument. A short distance to S, in an adjoining townland, two other such sites (KE065-035---- & KE065-036----) were also levelled at this time. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 406.
