This bog-covered plateau overlooks Kells Basin to N from a W spur of Been Hill. In a small peat-cutting a wall runs NE-SW for a distance of 21m. It is composed of intermittent uprights, boulders and slabs set on edge; it averages .5m high. A shorter stretch of a similarly constructed wall runs at right angles to SE.

Internal diam. 28.3m N-S, 31m E-W This circular bivallate rath is located in pastureland on a ridge of high ground overlooking the Ferta river valley. The outer bank and intervening fosse are only extant in its SW sector, their extremities marked by modern field boundaries. The bank, composed of earth and gravel, is 4.5m wide, 1.6m high externally and falls 1.8m to the bottom of the fosse which is 4m wide. The inner bank is earthen, but features a substantial stone content. It rises 3.15m high externally, is 3m wide and is up to 1m high internally. A possible entrance, 2m wide, occurs at E and is flanked on its S side by an upright slab. Ua Riain noted the remains of several poorly preserved buildings in the interior of the rath (1927), but these are no longer visible. 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. 475.

This tall standing stone is located in poorly drained land on the S side of Meelin ridge, which is a W spur of Been Hill. Regular in elevation, it tapers evenly as it rises to a height of 2.95m. It measures .8m x .4m at base; N-S. In the early part of the twentieth century land drainage operations, close to the standing stone, resulted in the removal of 'a large flag supported by a stone at each of its four corners' (Ua Riain 1927). No trace remains of this feature, which may have been a boulder-burial. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.

Marked on the first edition of the OS map as an enclosure with an internal structure, this caher was levelled in the early 1980s. All that remains is a slight platform, 22m N-S, which is situated in gently sloping pasture with distant views of the Valencia river estuary at SW. Ua Riain described the site's enclosing rampart in 1927 as built of 'rough big unmortared stones' enclosing a circular space 92 feet (28m) in diameter. He also noted an 'inner ring', probably a hut-site (KE070-026001-), which measured 49 feet (14.9m) in overall diameter, and a mound, 15 yards (13.7m) from the caher, in which there was an opening to a souterrain (KE070-026002-).

In level, boggy pasture on lower W slopes of Been Hill. Oval, corbelled drystone structure, modified for use as a sheepfold. The lintelled entrance at SSE is .95m high and .9m wide.

In very wet boggy ground in rough terrain which has been partially cleared by machine, the lichen encrusted upper surface of sandstone boulder (H. (up to) 1.2m high) which is squarish in plan (1.9m x 1.7m, its long axis NE/SW), is inscribed with weathered rock art motifs which are very faint and largely obscured by lichen. They include a cup-and-ring motif and lines of picking (Wth. 0.1–0.3m, D. 2– 4mm). The whole of the upper surface is marked by naturally occurring shallow NE/SW running cracks, the S half of this upper surface separated from the lower N half by a shallow step (H. c. 0.03m) running across its length. Carvings occur on either side of this step. N of the step, running perpendicular to the step, are four roughly equidistant parallel grooves c. 0.3m long and some 0.02m apart. A cup-and-ring motif having a cupmark (diam, 0.06m, D. 10mm) enclosed by a squarish ring (diam. 0.16m, D. 4mm, Wth. 0.01–0.02m) is found between the groove closest to NE and the second groove. A very shallow cupmark defined by a solidly picked circle of picking (diam. 0.05m, D. 3mm), is located between this second groove and the next groove at SW. While these grooves can be traced for c. 0.03m, photogrammetry shows that at least one of these lines (the line at the NE extente) continues from the step for a further c. 0.3m further than the initial 0.3m while the groove next to this continues to the lower section at S. Picked lines (L. c. 0.12m) run to within 0.38m of the SW edge of the upper surface. S of the central step towards the NE edge and SW of an amorphous area of picking (c. 0.35m NW/SE x 0.12m NE/SW), 4 lines conjoin a long narrow sub-rectangular shaped ‘ring’ (0.4m NW/SE x 0.08m NE/SW), the N extent of this which is partly formed by a natural crack which continues beyond the ring to the edge at NE. One of the lines extends from the crack N to the step, another extends SW (traceable for approx. 0.3m) where it partly encloses a cupmark (diam. 0.055m, D. 10mm) and a third line (a continuation of the NE side of the enclosing line) continues to within 0.08cm of the edge at E at which point it widens from 0.01m to 0.03m and continues to the edge, partly enclosing a cupmark (diam. 0.06m, D. 0.01) which is truncated by the panel’s edge. The fourth line, a continuation from the N half of the panel of the second groove from the NE edge, runs roughly parallel to the step before meeting the crack forming the N part of the sub-rectangular ring. To SW, there are two irregular shaped clusters of picking (c. 0.08m x 0.03m, D. 4mm) and curvilinear lines of picking which also extend to the edge. Towards the SW corner, two equi-sized parallel oblong-shaped depressions (0.08m x 0.03m), are 0.04m apart. 6+ pickmarks (diam. 3mm, D. 3mm) are visible around the rim of a one of two cupmarks (diam. 0.06m, D. 0.12) NE of these depressions. The level surface of a second larger boulder to S appears to be devoid of carving. Dingle Bay is visible to NNW.
