• KE004-006001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Doon Castle would appear to be the castle that William Molyneaux mentions in 1709, which he refers to as 'Dunekuagh the ruins of a great fortification built by (the) Lords of Kerry at their first coming hither'. The castle is situated on a precipice and would appear to have been constructed here to protect the paths up from the northern bays. Earthworks extend across the neck of this promontory (KE004-006002-) but whether this defence system is coeval with the castle is difficult to ascertain. This castle has nearly disappeared, and only a fragment of a wall, 2.1m x 1.2m and less than 1m high, remains. The rest of the stonework was removed by local tenants for the construction of their houses. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle.

• KE004-006002 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Doon Point headland is cut off at the neck by a straight bank of stone 78m long, c4.5m in width and between 1.5m to 1.8m in height. Westropp (1909) mentions a fosse '21 feet wide and 6 feet deep at the centre ... getting deeper to each end'; however, this feature is not evident today. Doon Castle (995) is also entranched by a straight mound c235m long, c4.5m wide and c1m high, which runs in a WNW-ENE direction until it joins the bank cutting the headland. At a distance of 240m from the bank cutting the neck of the promontory is another straight bank running roughly NNE-SSW and measuring 120m in length. Finally on the S side of the headland a final straight bank whose line points at the centre of the Crescent Fort (105) runs for 235m before also joining the bank which cuts the headland. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 104.

• KE004-015 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 33m N-S, 31m E-W Situated in the corner of a pastoral field, this univallate rath consists of a circular area enclosed by a well-defined earthen bank and fosse. There is a slight trace of an outer bank, but this is more likely the debris from the enclosing fosse. A fieldbank encloses this site to the E and S. The maximum external height of the bank measures 3.6m and the interior 2.4m. The fosse is well-defined and U shaped, but due to the fieldbank to the E and S the fosse is not distinguishable at these sectors. The fosse measures c2m wide and 1m deep. Two openings are evident, one to the E and one to the SW, both measuring c 4m in width. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 218. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE004-016 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 41m N-S, 33m E-W Situated in the corner of a field, it is fairly overgrown with briars and rushes. A fieldbank runs N-S along the E side and another fieldbank runs E-W along the S side. This univallate rath consists of an oval area enclosed by a well-defined earthen bank and exterior fosse. The maximum external height of the bank measures 2.6m and the interior height 1.6m. The width of the bank measures c 4m. The fosse is U-shaped and measures 3m wide and c 1m deep. A 4m wide gap appears to the NE. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 217. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
