• KE105-005 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  A circular enclosure is marked on the first edition of the OS map at this location, adjacent to a coastal cliff on the S side of Knockstooka mountain. There is no visible trace of the enclosure, and the area in which it was located is occupied by a series of N-S cultivation ridges (KE105-005001-). A souterrain (KE105-005002-) is reputed to exist at this location (local information). 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. 657.

• KE106-036001 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  Coomatloukane townland, where four wedge-tombs occur is located on a steeply sloping SW spur of Farraniaragh mountain, close to the SW end of the peninsula. The land is characterised by rock outcrop and boulders, with intervening stretches of rough boggy pasture, and it affords broad views to S across the mouth of the Kenmare river to the Beara Peninsula. Much of the land has been reclaimed, though not in the vicinity of the wedge-tombs. The three northern tombs, which form a group (KE106-036001-, KE106-036002- and KE106-037----), were excavated by Herity (1967, 218). The best preserved of these is situated on a small platform and consists of a narrow wedge-shaped gallery, aligned E-W, flanked on either side by outer-walling; single upright slabs link the ends of this walling to the front of the gallery. A prostrate stone found at the entrance may have segmented the 4m long gallery, which measures 1.05m wide at W and narrows to .7m at E. A shattered roof-stone covers the rear of the gallery, where the back-stone is missing. Loose cairn material extended beyond the limits of the outer walling (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 66). A small quantity of cremated bone was found in the gallery during its excavation. 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. 77. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE106-036002 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  This small, ruined monument is located less than 100m E of KE106-036001-, on land which slopes sharply away from its S end. A single repositioned upright marks the N side of the gallery. Two stones constitute its S side; that at E is set inside the line of the other, outside which is a possible buttress-stone. A septal- or door-stone crosses the W end of the gallery. The single stone which formerly covered the chamber is now displaced (de Valera and Ó Nuallain 1982, 66-7). 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. 78. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE106-037 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  Cromlech: Located on a level platform on the upper slopes of the spur of Farraniaragh mountain, this small tomb is largely collapsed. The S side of its gallery is represented by two side-stones, the upper edges of which slope downwards to E. Two small buttress or packing stones occur outside these. A single side-stone at N lies prostrate. The roof-stone, now collapsed, measures 2.7m long (de Valera and Ó Nuallain 1982, 67). Windele, in 1848, referred to this site as 'Board'een' (Bord Eoghain Fhinn) or 'Fingal's Table' (RIA MS 12 C 11). Alternative names applied to it are 'The Table' and Carraig Shíomais, and it is unclear whether the names Cloch an Arruig and Clochán an Fhiolair are connected with the monument (Ó Ciobháin 1984a, 41, 46) 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. 79.

• KE106-041 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  This rather well-preserved wedge-tomb is situated c. 350m from the sea-shore, in a small sheltered nook adjacent to a stream. It consists of a chamber, 1.21m long, which is covered by a single roof-stone and is closed at its W end by a septal-stone. The S side of the chamber consists of two slabs, outside of which stands an outer wall stone and a small buttress. The two stones forming the N side have collapsed inwards; outside these a single outer-wall stone inclines heavily to S. The chamber decreases in height from its W end. (de Valera and Ó Nuallain 1982, 67-8). 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. 80. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE106-043 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 14.8m N-S, 18.1m E-W Cahereernark/Cathair Uí Ruairc: This possible caher is marked 'site of' on the second edition of the OS map. It survives as a subcircular overgrown bank which features large boulders in its basal construction and is otherwise composed of earth and small stones. The bank averages 1.3m wide, has a maximum internal height of 1m at NW and a maximum external height of 2.9m at S, where this is exaggerated by the slope of the land. A 2m wide gap at SE may mark the location of the original entrance. A large slab, .65m high x 1.35m wide, stands on edge on its W side. A small cairn of stones abuts the bank externally at SE. The centre of the site is traversed by a NNW-SSE field wall. 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. 571.
