Recorded monuments

• KE058-145 Burial ground
  Description

  In rough pasture, on a N-facing slope. A roughly rectangular burial ground (92m E-W; 68m N-S) enclosed by a well-constructed rubble stone wall (T 0.6m; H 1.6m) topped with vertical stone coping. The entrance gate is at the roadside to the W. Graves, which are largely unmarked, are visible as low mounds on the uneven surface. According to local information, the burial ground was in use from the early 19th century to the 1940s. The local community has recently erected seven plain white crosses in it. A plaque on the gate has the inscription 'St. John's Cemetery AD 1850'. This burial ground is not indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map.

• KE058-514 Burnt mound
  Description

  In the course of archaeological monitoring in advance of proposed afforestation two separate areas of burnt and fractured stones in a charcoal-rich deposit were discovered. Both were found in the shallow drains which were excavated to allow for mounds of earth to facilitate tree planting. The first burnt spread (KE058-514----) was c. 6m to W of the N-S field boundary dividing the main field. The drain section revealed that the burnt material extended for 2.5m and had a depth of c. 0.4m. The second spread (KE058-515----) was discovered to the SE and had a deposit depth in section of c. 0.3m. Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 1 March 2016

• KE066-033 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In a garden to the rear of a house, on an E-facing slope. There are no visible remains of this fulacht fia. Natural springs from the vicinity of the site seep downhill to the E.

• KE066-038 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on top of a small rise. This rath is not visible at ground level. It was indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. On the 1939 OS 6-inch map it is indicated by a broken line NE-NW defining a circular area (diam. c. 30m). Another rath (KE066-039----) is c. 70m to the SE. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

• KE066-039 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a SE-facing slope. A roughly circular area (64m N-S; c. 57m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.6m) NE-E and a scarp (H 2.1m) E-NE. A possible entrance is at S. The relatively flat interior slopes down to the SE. The perimeter is covered in overgrowth and breached by machinery in places. A trackway for farm machinery skirts the perimeter externally. Another rath (KE066-038----) is c. 70m to the NW.

• KE066-040 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope. This rath is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 55m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map while on the 1939 OS 6-inch map, the E half is truncated by the Tralee-Killarney railway. A D-shaped area (dim. c. 16m E-W) remains, defined by an arc of differential growth SE-N and abutted by the railway track along the straight side (L c. 30m) at ENE. The interior is full of hummocks. This is probably the rath near Coolgarriv House, recorded in the 1940s, whose overgrown earthen banks ranged 'from 6 feet [1.82m] to 10 feet [3m] in height' and which was 'about 200 yards [182.8m] in circumference' (ITA). A local correspondent writing in 1939 also recorded an 'old ringed fort with the centre dug away' (SMR file). There is a souterrain (KE066-040001-) in the interior.

• KE066-040001 Souterrain
  Description

  In a rath (KE066-040----). Two depressions (L c. 1m; Wth 1m; D 0.25m) in the SW quadrant of the rath may indicate a collapsed souterrain chamber. According to a local correspondent writing in 1939, the rath had 'underground chambers' which connected to a souterrain (KE066-041----) on the E side of the railway (SMR file). This is probably the 'blocked entrance to a souterrain', recorded in the 1940s in the centre of an 'old fort' (ITA). Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

• KE066-041 Souterrain
  Description

  On the E embankment of the Killarney-Tralee railway. A linear depression (L 1.85m; Wth 0.85m; D c. 0.7m; long axis N-S) leads down to a souterrain opening, surrounded by ferns. The opening is defined by a large lintel and a concentration of large loose stones. The souterrain, which is silted up, can be traced for at least 1.1m. According to a local correspondent writing in 1939, there was 'a hole in the top of the railway bank' and a 'passage' connected this souterrain to a souterrain (KE066-040001-) in the rath (KE066-040----), c. 100m to the NW on the opposite side of the railway (SMR file).

• KE066-058002 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  In marshy pasture, now part of a housing development, with views S to Mangerton Mountain. A stone trackway (Wth c. 2m) found during excavations extended (L 6.2m) in a roughly N-S direction (Dennehy 2001a). The trackway, which was truncated by a drainage gully, comprised large, flat-topped sandstones. According to the excavator, a fulacht fia (KE066-058003-), 13m to the S, probably functioned in tandem with the trackway. A deposit of fulacht fia material overlay the trackway and, given its proximity to the fulacht fia, it is probable that this material formed part of the original fulacht fia mound. The shape and size of the stones in the trackway were similar to the large sandstones arranged around the trough of the fulacht fia. According to Dennehy (ibid. 6), given that this trackway was covered with fulacht fia material, it may have functioned solely with the fulacht and, once the fulacht fia ceased to be used, the trackway access may have been deliberately sealed with mound debris.

• KE066-058003 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In marshy pasture, subsequently developed as a housing estate. A mound (8m N-S; 8m E-W; H 0.4m), consisting of six layers of burnt material, was excavated prior to the housing development (Kiely 2001; 2003a, 163). A recut oval trough (2.6m x 1.9m; D 0.4m), from which some waterlogged wood fragments were recovered, was found at the E side. Traces of a possible stone kerb for the mound were also found. A stone trackway (KE066-058002-) was uncovered 13m to the N of the fulacht fia (Dennehy 2001a, 6). Two separate deposits of fulacht fia material, one of which overlay the stone trackway, were found to the N and were interpreted as redeposition of mound material (ibid.). There are no visible remains of this fulacht fia. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

• KE066-058004 Brickworks
  Description

  In marshy pasture, now part of a housing development, with views S to Mangerton Mountain. Large pits, filled with predominantly orange clays and red bricks subject to in situ burning, were encountered during excavations. Fulachtaí fia (KE066-058001-; KE066-058003-) and a trackway (KE066-058002-) nearby.

• KE066-124 Country house
  Description

  An abandoned two-storey house over a basement. The front elevation (N-facing) is of three bays. There is a central doorway with a semicircular fanlight hidden by a gabled porch and flanked by sidelights. There is a two-storey central projection at rear. The roof is hipped with two off-centre chimneys. The house is said to have been built in 1838 (Bary 1994, 85-6).
