Recorded monuments

• KE042-078 Mound
  Description

  A large mound of earth and stone situated in the field directly E of the car park at Clogher Strand. It measures 6 to 7m E-W x up to 2m high and is very uneven, possibly due to quarrying. The field in which it is located has a very uneven surface with numerous ridges and hollows. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 219. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013

• KE042-079 Hut site
  Description

  In a farmyard in Clogher village. A complete circular hut of corbelled construction, with a lintelled doorway, a small wall-cupboard and a window. Mortar was used in its construction and it is probably of relatively modern date. D: 3m. H: 3.1m. A 2nd corbelled hut KE042-079001- was apparently formerly present a little to S in the same village (local information). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1184. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE042-183 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Promontory fort described in 2002 as follows; ‘A large ridge-backed southwest-facing headland measuring 180m long by 100m wide was fortified on the landward side by a 5m wide 1m high earth and stone bank with external fosse 4m across. A parallel bank running across the centre of the headland southwest of the enclosing element may be part of an entrance causeway but a more recent land commission type field boundary running across the headland (as marked on the OS 6” maps) has interfered with this feature and its exact nature is unclear. Vague traces of a subcircular enclosure centrally placed in the interior were visible from the air but could not be found at ground level. Sheer 50’ high cliffs flank the promontory on either side but the seaward slope is gentler and the shore is accessible, although with difficulty. The area is one of hilly pasture and the site is overlooked by higher ground along the coast and 1 mile farther inland’ (Casey 2002, 35, no. M).
