Recorded monuments

• KE057-043 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a break on a S-facing slope. A roughly circular area (32m E-W; 30m N-S) defined by intermittent and poorly preserved sections of a bank (Wth 1.65m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.45m) NW-SE, by a nearly linear scarp (H c. 1m) SE-SSW and truncated by a SSE-NNW field boundary on the W side. The scarp and the field boundary appear to truncate the rath to the S and W, respectively. A roughly circular marshy area (diam. c. 5m) occupies the centre of the level interior. This rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) which is truncated by a lane at W. A souterrain (KE057-043001-) is associated with this rath.

• KE057-043001 Souterrain
  Description

  In a possible rath (KE057-043----). In the 1940s a 'cave' was recorded in a rath in McCarthy's farm (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain.

• KE057-067 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on level ground. This rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1846 and 1895 OS 6-inch maps as an oval enclosure (c. 60m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE). According to the landowner, the rath was defined by a single bank and has a souterrain (KE057-067001-) in its interior. It was levelled in the 1960s. This is probably the circular rath with 'one fence' which was recorded in Coolroe townland in the 1940s (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry).
