- KE065-068: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE065-068----. Internal diam. 23.5m N-S, 24m E-W This rath is located on a natural rise in pastureland drained by numerous tributaries of the Laune river. It comprises a fairly well-preserved bank and traces of an external fosse. It is heavily overgrown, and the souterrain noted by Cooke in the site's interior (1906, 2-3) cannot now be located. The fosse is best preserved in the NE sector, where it is 1m wide and .3m deep. At NW it is obscured by field clearance material which is piled against the bank. The bank, of stone and earth, has an average external height of 1.65m and a basal width of 2.4m. It falls on average 1m to the interior of the site. Traces of external drystone revetting survive along the N sector. A possible entrance gap, measuring 2.3m wide, is located at W. 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. 488. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
- KE065-068001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE065-068001-. At the turn of the century Cooke gained access to a portion of a souterrain (KE065-068001-) from a point close to the centre of the rath. A passage extended in a NE-SW direction for 16 feet (4.9m), taking a broad sweeping curve into a narrow blocked passage at its NW end. At its NE end, the passage measured 2 feet 8 inches (.81m) high and another blocked passage extended from here towards SE. The side-walls of the souterrain were of drystone construction and corbelled slightly towards the roof of overlapping slabs. 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. 488. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
- KE065-069: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE065-069----. The site is marked on the second edition of the OS map as a subcircular enclosure intersected by a field boundary. The adjoining fields have now been amalgamated and there are no visible remains of the site. 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. 792. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
- KE065-070: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE065-070----. Marked as a subcircular enclosure located at the junction of three field boundaries on the second edition of the OS map, no apparent trace of this site survives. Land reclamation undertaken in the 1960s has resulted in the obliteration of the many small fields in the immediate area of the site, where several clearance mounds occur. 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. 793.

Shown on the second edition of the OS map as a subcircular enclosure located at the junction of four field boundaries, this site was levelled in the early 1970s during land reclamation operations (local information). It was situated in poor land N of Macgillycuddy's Reeks. 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. 794.

- KE065-092: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE065-092----. Not marked on the OS maps, this standing stone was located in land drained by tributaries of the Gaddagh river. Around the mid-1960s extensive reclamation took place here, and the land is now devoted to pasture. No visible trace of the stone survives. It was locally known as a ‘gallaun’, and stood over six feet (1.8m) high. 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. 230. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013

This site is marked as a circular enclosure, located at the junction of three field boundaries, on the OS maps. No visible trace of it survives. It occurred in level, well drained land and was removed during land reclamation operations in the 1960s (local information). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.

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.
