• KE089-023 Enclosure
  Description

  Liscunagh: Marked as a small circular enclosure on the OS maps, this site is located on the N side of the Coomduff ridge in wet boggy pasture, overlooking the valley of the Inny river. A low circular bank encloses a slightly sunken area, 7.3m N-S x 7.85m E-W. The bank is composed of earth and stone and is considerably eroded. It varies in external height from .5m to 1.25m and it has an average basal thickness of 1.8m. 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. 732.

• KE089-036 Standing stone
  Description

  Located on the S side of Coomduff, in boggy pasture that overlooks the Cummeragh river, this standing stone is not marked on the OS maps. Of regular elevation, it leans slightly to the N and tapers to a rounded top. It measures 1.7m high, and has basal dimensions of .4m x .4m. It is visibly weathered on the S face, and one packing stone is evident at its base. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.

• KE089-038 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 15m E-W This is one of a group of four cahers located towards the NE end of the Coomduff ridge, commanding far reaching views along the Cummeragh river valley to Lough Currane at SW. As a result of land clearance operations only the S sector of the site survives. The enclosing wall here is poorly preserved, however, and has largely collapsed downslope. Field clearance debris abuts its external face. The wall is 1.5m wide and survives to a maximum external height of 1.1m and an internal height of 1.8m. The interior of the caher contains a fill of field clearance material and stone collapse. The outlines of two huts, located adjacent to one another, are discernable towards the centre of the site. That at W (KE089-038001-) survives as a semicircular arc of drystone walling, 1.9m wide, enclosing a slight hollow, 4m E-W. The second hut (KE089-038003-), circular in outline, has an internal diameter of 4.5m. Its wall survives .8m in maximum height and is 1.4m wide. An opening to a largely collapsed souterrain (KE089-038002-) is located 1.3m SW of the second hut. Its drystone-built passage extends to N for 3m, where it turns to ESE for a further 2m. Here fallen roofing lintels block further access. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'.

• KE089-039 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 15m N-S, 24m E-W This site, one of a group of four cahers, is located on a natural terrace 150m S of KE089-038----. It consists of a very poorly preserved subcircular enclosure, within which is a ruined hut and a rectangular sheepfold. The enclosing wall measures 2.3m wide on average and survives up to 1.2m high. It is faced internally and externally with large slabs, and much stone collapse abuts its external face. A 1.45m wide entrance gap occurs at NE, and is flanked on its N side by a large, 1.1m high, upright slab. In the stony interior of the caher are the remains of a subrectangular hut (KE089-039001-) with internal dimensions of 2.6m x 2m. Its walls are .9m high and .8m wide. Towards the centre of the site is a relatively modern sheepfold, measuring 8.4m x 4.7m. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.

• KE089-040 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 21.5m N-S, 22.4m E-W This is the most southerly of a group of four cahers located on gentle S sloping pasture on the SE side of Coomduff ridge. The enclosing element is much collapsed, surviving as a 2m wide stony bank which varies from .5m to 1.1m high externally and from .2m to 1.4m high internally. The bank is very much disturbed along its E and W sectors. An eroded gap, 3.7m wide, is located at NE and may represent the original entrance. A poorly preserved circular hut (KE089-040001-) is located in the interior of the caher. It has an internal diameter of 5m, and its wall survives .9m high and 1.4m wide. An entrance gap, 1.6m wide, occurs at SW. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'.

• KE089-041 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 20.2m NE-SW, 23.1m NW-SE This poorly preserved enclosure is one of a group of four cahers located on the SE slopes of Coomduff. A NW-SE field boundary bisects it, and a further two field walls extend SW from this across its interior. The enclosing element survives mostly as a band of stone collapse up to 4m wide, but at NW it is faced with large boulder-like slabs and is 1.45m wide. The wall averages 1m high externally, but at SE, where a small stream skirts the site, it is 2.1m high. A stony mound in the SW sector of the caher's interior may represent the remains of a hut (KE089-041001-). It measures 2.8m in overall diameter. The above description is derived from A.
