- KE089-009 Enclosure
Description
A circular enclosure is indicated at this location on the first edition of the OS map. It is located in level pasture on the W bank of the Inny, just N of where the Cummeranearla stream joins the river. A roughly oval area, 23m NW-SE, is defined from NW through to SE by a setting of upright slabs. The slabs average .5m high and 1.2m wide at base, and a low stony bank, .2m high, abuts them externally at NW. An upright slab at E is set at right angles to the line of the enclosure and may have formed part of an entrance feature; it measures .97m high, 1.04m wide at base and .15m thick. A slight linear depression may indicate the outline of the enclosure along its W side. 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. 709. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
- KE089-024 Souterrain
Description
This souterrain, not marked on the OS maps, is located in a forestry plantation on the E side of the Cummeranearla stream, NE of the Coomduff ridge. Access to it is gained through a lintelled ope with inclining sides, .75m high and .65m wide at base, which leads into the W end of a rectangular chamber. This is 3.45m long, 1.6m wide, and up to 1.35m high. Its regularly coursed, drystone-built walls corbel towards the roofing lintels. The N side-wall curves outwards slightly. The entrance to a creepway, .33m x .55m, is located in the S wall close to the chamber’s SE angle. The creepway is c. 2m long and appears to lead to a second chamber, which is inaccessible. 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. 854.
