- KE099-031: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE099-031----. 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. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013

Not marked on the OS maps, this standing stone is situated in a large expanse of bog at the E end of a low ridge of rock outcrop. Almost hidden by dense overgrowth, it is regular in elevation and inclines very heavily towards SW. It measures 2.4m in overall length and is 1.05m wide and .6m thick at base; NE-SW. 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. 168.

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.
