Internal diam. 23.4m N-S, 19.7m E-W This bivallate rath, enclosing 2 stone huts, is situated on the N facing slopes of Reenconnell overlooking the marshy, low-lying plain drained by the Feohanagh river and its tributaries. The outer bank is up to 1.4m high and fragmentary traces of drystone facing occur along its outer edge at NW. This bank merges with a field boundary which skirts the site at S but elsewhere it is continuous, except for the disturbed entrance gap at NE. The fosse is very disturbed but averages 1.65m in width at base. The inner bank rises c. 4m above the base of the fosse. It is revetted internally with drystone walling which is well-preserved to an average height of 1.6m. There is also some intermittent stone facing along the outer face. The entrance gap at NE is defined to E by a single upright slab, .66m high, and to W by drystone walling; it is c. 1m wide. The fosse in this area is very poorly defined but there is probably a causeway leading across it to the break in the outer bank. An internal dividing wall, represented by a low band of stone collapse, 1.8m wide, isolates a small area to N and W of the entrance. In the SE part of the interior are the ruined remains of a stone hut measuring c. 4.3m N-S and 3.2m E-W internally. The wall survives to a maximum height of .77m internally and is c. 1.5m wide. There is no clear evidence for an entrance but it must have been located in the ruined N or W sectors. There may have been an adjoining yard (or 2nd hut). This is suggested by a stretch of collapsed walling which extends 7.8m to W from near the S wall, and then N for a short distance before merging with a spread of stones which is probably the remains of a 2nd hut-site. Only a few stones of the external wall face of this latter are visible and the remainder of the outline is not discernible. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

Cosán na Naomh: The pilgrim's path that leads to the summit from the W side of the mountain is shown on the OS maps as beginning at Lateevebeg, but may have extended as far W as Fahan (McDonogh 1985, 74). The route passes close to many of the early church sites, calluraghs and holy wells for which the peninsula is famous, including Gallarus (KE042-071001-) and Kilmalkedar (KE042-026008) and Harbison (forthcoming) suggests that some of these sites may have been associated with the pilgrimage.

Calluragh burial ground (KE034-112003-): This site lies on the fairly steep NE slopes of Reenconnell, on the E side of the 'Saint's Road' which leads to the pilgrimage site on the summit of Brandon mountain (KE034-112001-). It consists of a roughly oval, stone-walled enclosure, within which are a clochaun, 2 leachts, a cross-slab and some graves which probably relate to the reuse of the site as a calluragh burial ground. Two clochauns, one of which contains a souterrain, lie directly outside the enclosure at NE, utilising the enclosure wall as part of their structure. The enclosure measures 34.5m N-S x 28m E-W internally and the cashel wall varies from .4 to 1.6m in height and from .6 to 1.75m in width. Access to the interior was provided by a 1.7m wide entrance at S which is now blocked by a large slab. Commencing 6m N of the entrance, an internal dividing wall extends N for 13.5m and then ENE for a further 4.5m. This averages about .45m in height and .85m in width and the masonry is of markedly poorer quality than that of the cashel wall and clochauns. Outcropping rock contributes to the uneveness of the ground surface within the enclosure and several of these outcrops are incorporated into the dividing wall. Apart from the leachts, the only recognisable grave lies directly NW of the clochaun and is defined by a number of slabs on edge which surround a low mound of earth and stones up to .45m high. A single stone on edge near the cashel wall at NE may be a grave marker. Leachts: Located in the E sector of the site, the best preserved of these features measures 4 x 4.95m and consists of a roughly rectangular mound of stones retained by drystone walling up to .65m high. A small mound of stones adjacent to its S side may have been a similar feature and it is in this that the cross-slab stands. Cross-slab (KE034-112006-): The visible portion of the slab measures 2.48m in length but it is broken in two, the larger section standing erect in the mound of stones, the smaller fragment lying loose beside it. Its E face is inscribed with 2 crosses, one above the other. The present lower cross is equal-armed with bifurcated terminals which form rough semi-circles; a short groove occurs 9cms below the lower arm. The present upper section of the slab, including the smaller fragment, is inscribed with a Latin cross with similar bifurcated terminals, but that at the head develops into 2 large spiral motifs which occupy the spaces between the head and arms. At present this latter cross stands on its head and it may be that the slab is not in its original position but has been re-erected upside down. Clochauns (KE034-112004-): The circular hut in the interior has an internal diameter of 4m and its corbelled drystone wall, c. 1.6m thick, stands to a maximum height of 1.17m. The break in the inner face at E may mark the entrance but extensive stone collapse confuses this part of the structure. A rough attempt was made to create a terrace for the 2 huts outside the cashel wall and the E edge of this terrace is faced with rough dry stone masonry, up to .7m high, for a length of c. 11m. The best preserved of these huts measures 7 to 8m in diameter externally and its corbelled drystone wall stands to a maximum height of 1.75m. A lintelled opening in the SW part of the wall leads to a drystone-built souterrain (KE034-112009-) which is now inaccessible but which can be seen to run NW along the line of the cashel wall. The wall of the 2nd hut is now largely reduced to mounds of stone collapse, but in the vicinity of the .7m wide entrance at SE it is still preserved to a height of c. 0.4m. This hut measures at least 3.3m in diameter internally. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

The wall of the 2nd hut is now largely reduced to mounds of stone collapse, but in the vicinity of the .7m wide entrance at SE it is still preserved to a height of c. 0.4m. This hut measures at least 3.3m in diameter internally. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

Calluragh burial ground (KE034-112003-): This site lies on the fairly steep NE slopes of Reenconnell, on the E side of the 'Saint's Road' which leads to the pilgrimage site on the summit of Brandon mountain (KE034-112001-). It consists of a roughly oval, stone-walled enclosure, within which are a clochaun, 2 leachts, a cross-slab and some graves which probably relate to the reuse of the site as a calluragh burial ground. Two clochauns, one of which contains a souterrain, lie directly outside the enclosure at NE, utilising the enclosure wall as part of their structure. A rough attempt was made to create a terrace for the 2 huts outside the cashel wall and the E edge of this terrace is faced with rough dry stone masonry, up to .7m high, for a length of c. 11m.

In mountain heath, upon a conspicuous rock outcrop (246m OD), adjacent level area of ground that forms a saddle between Rinn Chonaill, to SE and a lower summit, to W; steep descent to NE. Extensive vista to Ballyferriter and Smerwick Harbour WSW->WNW, over Ballydavid Head at NNW and across Brandon Mountain range NE->E and Ballysitteragh Mountain to SE. Rock art is located upon an upright portion of rock which forms part of a side elevation of this outcrop; named upon OS historic mapping as Carrigameen; drystone boundary wall abuts to S. A slightly rough and unfractured, triangular-shaped portion of sandstone (dims. 0.80m WSW-ENE; 0.45m NNE-SSE) having a SSE-facing decorated surface bearing a single spiral motif (dims. 0.19m WSW-ENE; H 0.18m) which is obscured by white lichens. This decorative element has a clockwise groove (Wth 1-3.5cm; D 6-8mm) that is narrow (Wth 1cm) in the centre, broadens (Wth 3.5cm) as it winds out and narrows again as it tails off. Located upon a saint’s road known as Cosán na Naomh, which is a medieval pilgrim route from Ventry to Brandon Mountain; The portion in this vicinity extends from Kilmalkeadar Early Christian and Medieval ecclesiastical complex (KE042-026----) at SW, to Corr Aille, at NE.
