• KE044-018 Mound
  Description

  This site, known locally as Garraí na dTuamaí, was levelled c. 5 years ago and the debris used to fill in the little glen that ran N-S directly to E of it (local information). The present remains consist of a roughly circular area, 13m E-W x 17m N-S, raised very slightly above the external ground level, particularly on the downslope side. The perimeter also slopes very slightly down towards the centre of the site and from a distance the grass cover around the perimeter is different in colour from that in the interior and that of the surrounding field. Though the remains resemble an almost levelled ringfort, the site was described locally as a low stony mound c. 1m high, and its classification remains uncertain. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1567.

• KE044-019 Ecclesiastical site
  Description

  This site occupies an area of open ground in the centre of the village of Knockane, about three-quarters of a mile S of Lough Anscaul. The precise nature of the site and its original outline and extent are uncertain, but its chief features are an Early Christian cross-slab and 4 probable graves, two of which are box-like arrangements of stones, not unlike megalithic cists. These graves are located on a small level tract of ground, c. 38m E-W x c. 10.5m N-S, which is defined along its N side by a gentle scarp c. 0.5m high, on its E side by a stream, on its S side by a steep scarp c. 1.5m high, and on its W side by a disturbed area occupied by a number of low banks. The site is used as a general dumping ground and, though its original limits are not known, it may also have been disturbed by the field fence which, until 1985, extended along its S side, and by the road which bounds its W and NW sides. The cross-slab stands in a secondary position, formerly embedded into the S side of the field fence (but now free-standing). Graves: (1) The westernmost grave consists of a 3-sided, rectangular arrangement of stones, open to E and measuring 1.4 x 1.3m internally. The sides are each formed by a single large slab, up to .55m high, set on edge in the ground. A large prostrate slab lying W of the grave may have been a capstone, and several other stones on edge to W and S of the grave may be part of similar structures. (2) A similar box-like arrangement of 4 stones, up to .5m high, lies 11m to E of (1). It measures 1.15m x .83m internally and its open S side opens directly onto the upper edge of the scarp that defines the S side of the site. A 5th stone is set on edge directly to W. (3) About 5m to N of (2) is a low mound into which are set 2 parallel slabs, .2m apart and up to .3m high; 3 further stones are visible at the NW edge of the mound. (4) The easternmost grave is marked by a large boulder which overlies a cavity or depression. A line of 4 small stones on edge emerges from under the stone at E and runs SW for .8m. The original context of the graves is not certain and they have been interpreted both as megalithic cists (Henry 1937, 776) and as ceallúnach graves (Fanning 1981, 149). An Early Christian presence at the site is indicated by the cross-slab and by a 2nd possible grave-slab, now missing, and the graves may relate either to this phase or to a later reuse of the site as a calluragh burial ground. However, the large size of the stones used is not typical of Christian burials and, perhaps, the suggestion that the structures may be megalithic cists should not be dismissed entirely. They have, however, been rejected as megalithic tombs by the Megalithic Survey of Ireland. Cross-slab (KE044-019004-): A slab measuring 1.1 x .94m is inscribed on one face with a cross of arcs, pendant from the lower arm of which is a plain stem. A loop at the right side of the upper arm represents a monogram form of the Chi-Rho symbol. Inscribed-slab (KE044-019005-): An inscribed stone fragment from the site was presented to UCC in 1939 but its present whereabouts is not known. One surface bore 4 letters or symbols but the rubbing published by O'Connell (1939b, 45) does not help to clarify what these represent. A loom-weight was found on the site at the same time.

The motifs are extremely faint and badly weathered and can barely be deciphered. According to Cuppage (1986, 62, Fig. 40 (a), there is a cup-and-one ring motif having a radial groove at SE. This motif (overall diam. 20cm; D 3-4mm) can barely be seen. Faint traces of a linear arrangement (long-axis c. ENE-WSW) of four cupmarks (diam. 4.5cm; D 1-2mm) can be identified to N. Field boundary depicted upon current edition OS map adjacent to NW, has been removed. According to Cuppage (1986, 62), a small area of outcropping rock 40m to WNW, bears two possible cupmarks; this could not be seen and may have been removed or buried when two field boundaries were removed in this area. A pair of standing stones (KE044-022----) are located c. 95m to SE and a single standing stone (KE044-024----) is c. 125m to NE.

• KE044-024 Standing stone
  Description

  Situated on the lower slopes of Knockmulanane, this standing stone measures 2.7m in height, 2.1m in width at base tapering irregularly to a pointed top, and .2m in thickness; ENE-WSW. Abutting the N face is a slab of similar width but only .65m in height; this may be an off-split from the larger stone. A single packing stone is visible on the S side. The 2nd edition of the OS map incorrectly shows a pair of stones at this location. However, on the 1st edition the pair of stones is correctly marked c. 100m to SW (KE044-022----).

A N-S stream gully skirts the E side of the enclosure and takes the place of the fosse in this sector. The fosse is a maximum of 2m deep below the external ground level and 2.75m deep below the crest of the bank; it is c. 2 to 4m wide. The bank reaches a maximum internal height of 2m at N but disappears completely along the S sector where the site is defined by a 2.75m high scarp, the interior being considerably raised above the external ground level on this downhill side. The causewayed entrance faces SSW and is 1.5m wide. It may be stone-lined but dense vegetation prevents a close inspection. There is also a 7m wide gap in the bank at the point where the fosse meets the stream gorge at N, but this is unlikely to be original. A stone-faced recess occurs in the outer face of the bank at N. It is c. 2.75m wide and 1.5m deep and its function is uncertain. The interior is occupied by a tree plantation and the entire site is densely overgrown. The above description is derived from J.

• KE044-053 Standing stone
  Description

  This stone stands against the S side of an E-W field boundary, on a very gentle S facing slope at the foot of the central mountain ridge. It measures 1.83m in height and 1.36m x .4m at base; E-W. The W side rises almost vertically, but the E side exhibits a pronounced shoulder, only .2m above the ground, before tapering evenly towards the top. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 94.

• KE044-054 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 29m NW-SE, 31m NE-SW This circular univallate rath, with hut site and souterrain, is situated on level pastureland about 350m W of the Owenascaul river. The external fosse is c. 2.5m wide and a maximum of 1m deep below the external ground level, but is not traceable along the E sector. The earthen enclosing bank rises a maximum of 1.5m above the fosse and 1m above the interior, and along much of the E sector it has been faced externally with drystone masonry. The herring-bone style of sections of this latter suggests that it is, at least in part, a late feature. It is not clear where the original entrance lay. For a distance of 10m at S, there is no internal height to the bank, but the interior is raised c. 1m above the external ground level and there is no trace of a ramp. There is a 3m wide break in the bank at NE which has been partly closed by a stone wall and there is a 1.1m wide break at W, at which point the fosse is only barely perceptible. Directly S of the latter gap, the low and grass-grown foundations of a rectangular or D-shaped structure abut the inner face of the bank. It measures c. 3.5m E-W x 4.5m N-S internally. The souterrain lies near the centre of the enclosure and the visible section consists of a short stretch of passage aligned NNE-SSW, at the SSW end of the ESE wall of which a porthole slab formerly provided access to a D-shaped chamber. The passage is 1.5m wide, .5m high and 2.5m long at present, but both ends are blocked by collapse. The collapse of portion of the roof at SSW provides the only means of access to the passage but it has also blocked the entrance to the chamber. The chamber measures c. 3.75m NNW-SSE x 1.75m WSW-ENE x 1m in height and at present access is provided by a hole in the roof at the SE corner. Both sections of the souterrain are of neat drystone construction, the roof being formed by a series of large flags. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 373. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
