Recorded monuments
- KE033-020 Standing stone
Description
Situated on level ground at the foot of the N slopes of Reenconnell, the 'Gallaun' marked on the OS maps no longer survives. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 145. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013
- KE034-141 Ringfort - cashel
Description
On the lower, N facing slopes of Reenconnell, overlooking the level plain drained by the Feohanagh river, a sub-circular enclosure is marked on the OS maps and named 'Caher' on the Fair Plan. On the 2nd edition the site appears to be enclosed by field walls and those to S and W still remain. These probably roughly follow the line of the original enclosing bank or wall. There was formerly a clochaun in or abutting the W wall (local information). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 645. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013

Description

There was formerly a clochaun in or abutting the W wall (local information). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

- KE034-142001 Ritual site - holy well
Description
A spring well over which there was an upright slab with an incised cross-and-circle (Ó Danachair 1960, 77). There is a vague tradition that this was a holy well. There is no trace of a well or a cross-slab at the location indicated by Ó Danachair. However, the well marked on the 2nd edition of the OS map about 100m to W may be the one in question. This is now surrounded with a modern concrete tank and there is no trace or local knowledge of a cross-slab. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 930. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
