Recorded monuments

• KE099-031 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 22m N-S, 20.6m E-W This considerably disturbed enclosure, not marked on the OS maps and known locally as a 'Caher', is situated on top of a low rise with an excellent outlook in all directions. Much of the stone used in the construction of its wall was removed for use as building material (local information). Only intermittent sections of stone facing are now visible through the sod-cover. The interior of the site survives at a slightly higher level than the denuded, 3m wide, enclosing wall. A field boundary overlies the wall at W, and a second boundary, E-W, traverses the site's interior. A 'hole' in the interior was blocked up within living memory, which may indicate the presence of a souterrain (KE099-031001-) there. 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. 580.
