- KE067-037: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE067-037----. In level pasture, to the E of Killarney town. There are no visible remains of this stone. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE067-039: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE067-039----. In level pasture, with views SW to Macgillycuddy's Reeks. A circular area (23m NW-SE; 22m NE-SW) defined by two earthen banks with an intervening fosse and an outer fosse. The inner bank (Wth 3.65m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 2.1m) is evident ESE-NNW. The intervening fosse and outer bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 1m) are evident ENE-NNW. Intermittent traces of a shallow outer fosse (Wth 1.5m; D c. 0.1m) are evident ENE-NNW. The inner bank is heavily overgrown S-NNW. A road (N22) and a wall truncate the NE arc. There is a break in the outer bank at S. A field boundary abuts the outer bank at WNW and another skirts externally along the SSW arc. A strip along the NE side of the rath was excavated in the 1990s due to the upgrading of the road. Excavation revealed a spread of burnt soil, stone and iron pan on a gravel layer, suggesting to the excavator that 'some form of smelting or metal working' had occurred at the site (Connolly 1994, 42). A possible souterrain (KE067-039001-) and a possible hut site (KE067-039002-) are in the level interior. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 40/1976).

In a rath (KE067-039----). A circular depression (c. 1.4m NW-SE; c. 1.2m NE-SW; D c. 0.3m), obscured by overgrowth and debris, in the E half of the rath may indicate a collapsed souterrain. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

In the N quadrant of a rath (KE067-039----). The remains of a possible circular hut (1.8m NE-SW; c. 1.4m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 1.2m; H c. 0.4m) E-S and by a slight trace of a bank S-NW. The hut is obscured by overgrowth. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

In level pasture, with views SW to Macgillycuddy's Reeks. Indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map at the junction of four fields.

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.
