- KE076-007 Enclosure
Description
In rough hill pasture, on a SW-facing slope with rock outcrops, overlooking the Clydagh River valley. A roughly oval area (6.1m E-W; 4.8m N-S) defined by a roughly constructed drystone wall (T 0.6m at base; H 1.4m), which narrows (T 0.3m) at the top. There is an entrance (Wth 1m) at N. A drystone wall (L c. 8m NW-SE) abuts the external face of the enclosure wall on the W side of the entrance. A similar wall (L c. 8m N-S) abuts the enclosure wall at NE. Parts of the enclosure wall have been rebuilt. It is used as a sheep pen. There is a hut site (KE076-007001-) c. 4m to the W.

- KE076-007001 Hut site
Description
In rough hill pasture, on a SW-facing slope with rock outcrops, overlooking the valley of the Clydagh River. The remains of a circular hut (diam. 1.8m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.85m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. Large stones are visible in the lower courses. There is an enclosure (KE076-007----) c. 4m to the E. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE076-008 Enclosure
Description
In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Clydagh River. A D-shaped area (dims. 8.7m N-S) defined by a roughly constructed drystone wall (T 0.6m at base; H 1.3m) which narrows (T 0.3m) at the top with a straight S side (L 9m). There is a large stone incorporated into the wall at NE and at E. The interior is cut into the upslope along the N arc. Rubble is scattered downslope to the S.

- KE076-013 Souterrain
Description
In pasture, on a knoll surrounded by bog in the valley of the Clydagh River. In the 1930s Capt. D. B. O'Connell described an opening '2 feet 6 inches square' [0.76m square], flanked by two stones, which led into a stone-built chamber '14ft [4.27m]...4ft [1.22m] wide & 3 ft 6 in [1.06m] high' here (SMR file). A series of grass-covered depressions, extending for a distance of c. 11m ENE-WSW, mark the location of this souterrain. Openings in the bases of two of the depressions (D c. 0.8m) reveal stone slabs, some of which are displaced, probably roof lintels of the souterrain. Another depression with an opening (diam. 0.9m; D 0.75m), 4m to the SSW, suggests that the souterrain extends in that direction.

- KE076-039001 Hut site
Description
In rough, heather-clad hill pasture, on a SE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Clydagh River. The remains of a circular hut (diam. 2.2m) defined by a partially grass-covered, collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.2m) which protrudes above the surface of shallow bog. Stones are scattered around the perimeter. There is another hut site (KE076-039002-) c. 5m to the SW and an enclosure (KE076-039003-) c. 50m to the NE.

- KE076-039002 Hut site
Description
In rough, heather-clad hill pasture, on a SE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Clydagh River. The remains of a circular hut (diam. 2m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) S-NW and by a grass-covered bank (H 0.1m) of earth and stones NW-S. There is another hut site (KE076-039001-) c. 5m to the NE. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

- KE076-039003 Enclosure
Description
In rough, heather-clad hill pasture, on a SE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Clydagh River. A roughly D-shaped area (dims. 2.7m N-S) defined by a roughly constructed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.6m) with a straight S side (L 6m). The enclosure is best preserved ENE-W. Large stones are visible in the lower courses of the wall. There is an entrance break at NE. A totally collapsed drystone structure (c. 2.2m E-W; 1.6m N-S; H 0.3m) abuts the S wall externally. The function of this is unclear but it may have been a hut site. There is another hut site (KE076-039001-) c. 50m to the SW and an enclosure (KE076-039004-) c. 50m to the S.

A break at SE may indicate an entrance. Fallen rubble is scattered along the perimeter.

- KE076-062 Bridge
Description
A road bridge (Wth 5.6m; long axis E-W) spanning the narrow gorge of the Clydagh River. The upstream side is inaccessible and difficult to see. The downstream side appears to be completely rendered in concrete apart from the parapets which are of random rubble with concrete coping. The single segmental arch has projecting corbels at the springing points. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

- KE076-067 Kiln - lime
Description
In woodland, built into a steep S-facing slope on the S side of a minor road. The random rubble sandstone front and side walls retain the core. The front wall (H 3.5m; Wth 3.8m) faces S and has a central lintelled recess (H 1.75m; Wth 1.4m; D 2.05m). There is a horizontal ledge across the front of the kiln, above the recess. The top of the kiln is accessed at road level; a low stone wall (H 0.7m) extends across the rear of the kiln. The stone-lined funnel (diam. 1.3m) is partly infilled.

- KE076-087 Standing stone
Description
Identified and described by Tony Miller as; 'Set on a small platform on a steep heather-clad slope with view towards the eastern Pap and overlooking the Clydagh River valley. A small triangular shaped standing stone with a small terrace to the south. It measures c. 1.1m H x c.1m W and c. 0.15m thick. It is aligned SW-NE and points directly towards the cairn on the eastern Pap. The top of the stone has possibly been shaped. A small hut site is c. 20m upslope to the NW'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Tony Miller.
- KE076-088 Field boundary
Description
Identified and described by Tony Miller as; 'Situated on a south facing slope consisting of heather-clad rough grazing with sweeping views. In a collapsed but stable condition in open terrain. Partially buried beneath turf in places. A c. 1km length of relict field boundary running north-south up a heather clad slope of open moorland. It runs along the western edge of an open storm gully. The walling survives to a maximum height of c.0.8m in places. It is a substantial boundary wall but is not a townland boundary. It is shown on the last 6’’ OS map but not on any of the earlier ones. At its southern end it stops at a boundary at the top of a steep slope. At the northern end it reaches near the foot of Roger’s Rock before turning NW towards another rock outcrop at the top of the slope'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Tony Miller.
- KE076-089 Hut site
Description
Identified and described by Tony Miller as; 'Situated on a steep, heather clad slope on a route to the western peak of the Paps.

A very small sub-circular hut site or shelter partially dug into the steep slope. The back wall consist of dry stone walling to a maximum height of c.1.2m. The remaining walls are collapsed. It is small measuring just c. 1.6m in diameter'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Tony Miller.
