• KE080-031001 Field boundary
  Description

  In rough hill grazing on shallow bog, on the steep SE-facing slopes of Caunoge Mountain and overlooking the valley of the Owroe River. A stretch of a mainly curvilinear field wall (T 0.6m; H 0.6m), which protrudes above the surface of the bog, extends intermittently in a NE direction for c. 40m from a hut site (KE080-031----) to the bank of a SE-flowing river. The poorly preserved wall contains some large slabs set at right angles to the line of the wall. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 399, no. 1217) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry.

• KE081-006 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  The circular field depicted at this location on the second edition of the OS map is now used as a cattle enclosure. The substantial enclosing stone wall does not appear to be of recent construction, though it is partly rebuilt. The original walling, where visible, is well-constructed and consists of a rubble core faced externally and internally with drystone masonry. It is preserved to a maximum external height of 1.75m and an internal height of 1.45m. It has an average basal width of 1.5m. There are two breaks in the wall, at ESE and WNW, but it is not clear if these are original. The interior, 23m in diameter, is level with no apparent surface features. 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. 726. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
