- KE071-049: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE071-049----. The remains of this small, subcircular enclosure, not marked on the OS maps, are located in rough grazing land on the high W slopes of Beenreagh mountain. The site affords a far-reaching view to N over Coomaglaslaw and Coomasaharn lakes and along the Behy river valley. The enclosure measures 10.9m x 9.1m internally, and is defined by a wall of boulders and small stones. This wall survives to .5m in height and is .7m in width. A short distance to SW a semicircular outline of boulders is all that remains of a possible second enclosure (KE071-049001-). It has an internal diameter of 22m, and its wall averages .65m wide. 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. 716. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013

- KE071-096: Rock art, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE071-096----. This monument was initially identified as rock art by Aoibheann Lambe in 2016. In pasture field (186m OD), with abundant rock outcrop and boulders, on a gentle NW-facing slope; Best views SW->NW toward Teeromoyle Mountain and Drung Hill. A partial cup-and-two-ring motif (overall dims. 12cm x 9cm; ring Wth 1cm; D 3cm; cup diam. 1.5cm; D 2mm) which is complete S->W->NNE, is located on W side of decorated surface. A cup-and-two-ring motif (overall dims. 26cm; ring Wth 1.5cm; D 2-3cm; cup diam. 5cm; D 10mm) is c. 56cm to NE; obscured across N arc by stone wall field boundary; A natural fracture (long-axis E-W) extends from cupmark at E. Thirteen cupmarks (range diam. 1.5-3cm; D 4-5mm) to centre and S of decorated surface. Various pickmarks across S and E areas of decorated surface.

- KE071-191: Rock art, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE071-191----. On largely level ground in boulder strewn boggy pasture, this prominent sandstone boulder (c. 130m OD), is inscribed on the S end of its SE facing surface with a picked line, a cross-in-circle, an irregularly shaped picked ring with internal picking and a cluster of picking. The boulder, having a largely even surface defined by a network of N/S and E/W running cracks, is up to 1.1m high and pentagonal in plan, with sides of 2 –4m long, the longest side at E being 4m in length. The sides at W and E slope upwards towards each other creating a central ridge which is overlain by turf. The S and E sides are also partly overlain by turf, the rock surface immediately N of the motifs bleached where it has recently been deturfed. The cross-in-circle motif consists of a ring (diam. 0.16m, L 0.45m, wth 0.01m, D 2mm) which is irregularly shaped, coming to a point at WSW and having a line (L 0.05m) extending from its E end towards SE. The ring encloses a cross, which is slightly off-centre to SE. The cross is composed of two intersecting lines (wth 0.01m, D 2mm), the line running NE/SW (L 0.14m ) intersected 0.05m from the base of the ring at NE by the line running NW/SE (L 0.15m). 0.09m above the cross-in-circle, a picked line (L 0.32m, wth 0.01m, D 2mm) runs N/S. A second ringed motif, 0.11m downslope to NE from the cross-in-circle, is composed of a loosely picked oval ring (diam NW/SE 0.2m, NE/SW 0.14m, wth 0.01–0.02m, D 0.03m) bisected by an irregular line of picking (NW/SE 0.20m, wth 0.01–0.02m, D 0.03m) with an area of picking extending from midway along this line upwards to the ring. 0.20m W of this motif, an area of small pickmarks, c. .10 of which form a cluster (diam. c. 0.04m). Hollows between the two ringed motifs and to S are irregularly shaped and appear natural. Extensive views in all directions, the decorated surface sloping upwards to NW, there are views SW towards Coomsaharn and views NW beyond Droum Hill to the Dingle Peninsula. Depressions on the surface of a on a low-lying rock to SW, which include three straight grooves (L 0.10–0.20m) running roughly N/S, do not appear to be rock art. Identified as rock art by Aoibheann Lambe (2018). Compiled by Aoibheann Lambe Date of upload: 30 May 2018

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
