• KE066-073 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on the E bank of the Flesk River. The N arc (C c. 10m) of a possible circular enclosure is clearly visible as a shadow site in an aerial photograph (ACAP, V 245/143-144) taken in 1956, with the faint trace of a possible circular feature at its centre. This possible enclosure is not visible at ground level. A smaller enclosure (KE066-073001-) is immediately to the SW.

• KE066-134 Architectural fragment
  Description

  On the E side of the road leading S from Killarney, 300m SE of Flesk Bridge. A square building (5m x 5m; H c. 8m; walls 0.6m thick) with an attached circular tower, containing a spiral stone stairs (int. diam. c. 1.35m), midway along its N side (see plans in Bary 1996, 32). It has a cruciform slate roof with each wall rising to a gable, and contains two floors with an attic; the building was partially restored in the mid-1990s. The ground floor window on the W wall incorporates a limestone sill from a mullioned window, and two chamfered jambs. These are of late 16th/early 17th-century date. Some of the quoin stones have similar tooling marks and are probably of the same date. However, the building itself appears to be a late-18th/early-19th century ornamental tower, but incorporating these earlier fragments whose origin is unknown.
