• KE106-022001 Field boundary
  Description

  In rough, uneven, hill grazing on bog on the E-facing slopes of Cahernageeha Mountain. The remains of relict field walls (T 0.6m; H 0.4m), which protrude above the surface of the bog, occur intermittently in a roughly triangular area (L c. 240m at E; protruding c. 300m to W). The walls vary in length and direction and are generally curvilinear with many boulder-type stones and occasional slabs set on the line of the wall. Many stretches of these relict walls are obscured by gorse and moor-grass, and occasionally disappear under deeper bog. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 399, no. 1220) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry.

  Description

  Within a network of relict field walls (KE106-022001-). The remains of a circular hut site (3m E-W; 2.8m N-S) defined by the lower courses of a largely collapsed stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.75m). The level interior, which is obscured by rubble, is cut into the upslope (D 0.7m) at W and raised (H 0.4m) at E to compensate for the hillslope. Rubble is spilling downslope to the E.

• KE106-023001 Standing stone - pair
  Description

  This pair of standing stones is located in level pasture on the lower SE slopes of Cahernageeha, just W of the Comnahorna river. The site commands an extensive view to SW along the river valley. Some 275m to NE is the four-stone row at Garrough (KE106-026001-), and about 100m to SW is a single standing stone (KE106-131----). The stones stand 4m apart in a NE-SW line. The taller stone, at SW, is of regular elevation and stands 1.75m high, measuring .95m x .7m at base; it inclines slightly to N. The second stone rises to a height of 1.45m, and measures .55m x .44m at base. Packing stones are visible around the bases of both stone (Ó Nualláin 1988,250). 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. 118.
