- KE069-011 Hut site
Description
In rough grazing land on lower E slopes of Castlequin. A roughly circular site consisting of uprights and slabs set on edge. Two large uprights, set .2m apart, at NE. Possible coursing occurs beneath overgrowth on S side. D: 4.5m x 4m. 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. 1191.

- KE069-020 Ringfort - cashel
Description
Henry described a 'series of ruins above and below the highest modern fence' on the N side of Castlequin, overlooking Coonanna Harbour. She identified a small, ruinous stone fort which enclosed the remains of a number of hut sites. To E, over the fence, was a ruined oval enclosure (KE069-020001-), possibly a hut site, with internal dimensions of 7 feet (2.1m) x 5 feet 6 inches (1.7m). An entrance occurred in the wall at N. Another, less carefully built, structure (KE069-020002-) occurred a short distance N and had an internal diameter of 14 feet (4.7m) x 9 feet (2.7m) (1957, 66, Plate XLIV). The site is not marked on the OS maps and permission to visit it was refused. 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. 721.

- KE079-019 Standing stone
Description

It was situated on the S facing lower slope of Castlequin mountain, overlooking the Ferta river. 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. 228.

- KE079-026001 Church
Description
The remains of this oratory are situated in a large rectangular graveyard (KE079-026002-) on gently sloping land between Slievagh mountain and the Ferta river at S. The extent of the modern graveyard appears to have obliterated any other early features which may have existed on this site, including a possible leacht recorded here in the early 1840s (OSL). Oratory (KE079-026001-): Located in the SW quadrant of the graveyard, the remains of this building are poorly preserved. Measuring 5.2m x 4.2m internally, it is drystone-built with carefully laid horizontal courses of flat slabs. A tendancy towards corbelling is only evident at N. Externally there has been a substantial rise in ground level, partially obscuring an offset which runs along the side-walls and the E end-wall. The N and S side-walls average 1.4m high internally and 1m in basal thickness, while the E end-wall reaches a maximum height of 1.8m and averages 1.1m thick. Roughly midway along the internal face of the E wall is a splayed and lintelled niche with a stepped base, measuring .62m x .4m x .43m. The W end-wall stands 1.45m high internally and averages 1.2m in basal thickness. It features a double-lintelled trabeate doorway, .85m high and .74m wide at present ground level. Possible Leacht: The OSL recorded a 'stone altar' which was located 'a few perches' E of the oratory and formed the focal point for the stations which were formerly performed at the site. No trace now remains of this feature, which may have been a leacht. A handled wooden vessel of Medieval date was discovered buried in the graveyard in the 1940s (NMI 1945:182).

Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 937.

- KE079-115 Souterrain
Description
This inaccessible drystone-built souterrain, not marked on the OS maps, is located on a SE facing slope overlooking the estuary of the Ferta river. Two openings to it are located on the NW and NE sides of a slightly raised, roughly circular area which measures 17m in diameter. Adjacent to the NW ope is a 1.7m long section of well-built walling which may represent the remains of an associated hut. Both openings to the souterrain are blocked by collapsed material, but the side-walls of a chamber or passage are visible through that at NE; these are carefully built and corbel slightly just below the roofing lintels. 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. 859.
