- KE085-014: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE085-014----. In undulating pasture, on a rise, overlooking the valley of the River Roughty. This rath is not visible at ground level though an associated souterrain (KE085-014001-) is visible. The rath is indicated on the 1895 OS 6-inch map as a sub-oval area (c. 30m N-S; c. 25m E-W). There is a children's burial ground (KE085-014002-) c. 70m to the SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
- KE085-014001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE085-014001-. In a levelled rath (KE085-014----). A roughly rectangular opening (L 1.8m; Wth 1.3m) reveals an entrance (Wth 1m; H 0.4m), below ground level (D 1m), defined by a stone lintel resting on drystone side-walls. Other lintels are also visible in the souterrain. The entrance is blocked with debris. According to the landowner, the drystone and lintelled passage continues in a SW direction for 3-4m from the entrance. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011

In pasture, on elevated ground, overlooking the valley of the Roughty River. A rectangular area (20m E-W; 12m N-S) which is raised (H 0.8m) above the external ground level. The area proved difficult to examine due to dense overgrowth. According to the landowner, low grave-markers, some of which are cross-inscribed, exist beneath the overgrowth. It is known as 'the cillín' and was left undisturbed when the surrounding land was being reclaimed. There is a rath (KE085-014----) c. 70m to the NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
