- KE066-086 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on a low wooded hill with commanding views over the surrounding countryside including Killarney, its lakes and mountains. An arc (L c. 15m), formed by the remains of a possible inner earthen bank (Wth 3.6mm; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) W-WNW, a possible intervening fosse (Wth c. 4m) W-WNW and the remains of an outer bank (L c. 50m; Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.2m) WSW-NW, indicate the remains of a rath (diam. c. 50m). The interior surface is very uneven. Mature deciduous trees, some leaning or fallen, occupy the interior and the remaining enclosing elements along the W arc. The location of the possible rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a roughly subrectangular area of scrub in the townland of Listymurragh. On the 1939 OS 6-inch map this area is named 'Listy Clump' and consists of a pear shaped enclosure (dims.: L c. 85m N-S; max. Wth c. 60m E-W). This appears to be the rath mentioned in a letter to R.A.S. Macalister, dated 28 December 1931, from the then landowner, a Mr. Hilliard who described it as 'very large' and of 'the usual type' (SMR file).

- KE066-131 Mill - unclassified
Description
On the S bank of the Flesk River at the foot of a steep NW-facing slope. Mill complex consisting of two overgrown ruined four-storey buildings (long axis NW-SE) on either side of stone-lined wheel pit (Wth 3.6m; D 3m). The S building is rectangular in plan; its NE elevation is of four bays with stone-arched windows, later extended to the SE by two bays with brick-arched windows. Access to interior was not gained. The N building is L-shaped with the NE elevation of three bays. The remains of machinery platforms and pits are within. A second brick-lined wheel pit is at the NW end of the N building and has a 20th-century turbine casing located on its N side. The overgrown ruins of two conjoined two-storey dwellings lie to the E. Further overgrown remains of structures abut the foot of the steep slope at the S edge of the complex. The millrace indicated on the 1846 and 1939 OS 6-inch maps, diverted from the river by a weir c. 300m to the NE and with a tailrace returning to the river c. 230m to the SW.
