• KE054-045 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  Pookauncorrin/Púicín an Chairn: This wedge-tomb is located near the E end of a long mountain ridge, overlooking Minard Bay on the S side of the Dingle peninsula. It commands an extensive outlook across Dingle Bay to the mountains of the Iveragh peninsula. The monument, which stands at the junction of 3 stone fences, is in a good state of preservation but has been modified for use as an animal shelter. It consists of a wedge-shaped gallery incorporated in a mound of stones measuring 8m E-W and 5m N-S. The mound reaches to the level of the roof of the gallery but it is not clear to what extent it represents the original cairn. A stone at the E edge of the mound and a 2nd stone immediately within the perimeter at NW are well set in the ground and may be kerb-stones. The gallery, which at present measures 3.85m in length, decreases in height and width from W to E. It is 1.7m wide and 1.5m high at W and .9m wide and .75m high at E. The backstone is missing but has been replaced by a later stone wall. The entrance at W has also been closed by secondary walling. The N side of the gallery is represented by 4 orthostats. A gap of .9m between the 2 westernmost stones now provides access to the interior but probably originally contained a 5th orthostat. A single stone outside the wall, towards its E end, forms a doubling of the wall here. The S side of the gallery also consists of 4 orthostats. The structure is roofed by 2 slabs, that to W being supported partly by the side walls and partly by the E roof stone. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE054-082 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 21.9m N-S, 20.4m E-W This roughly oval bivallate rath lies on the lower SE slopes of the Sea Hill ridge, overlooking Minard Head and Dingle Bay. The outer bank is 1.75m high externally, 1.25m high internally and 3.3m wide. Its inner edge is intermittently faced with rough drystone masonry, and short stretches of its outer flank are similarly stone-faced. The fosse is 5.3m wide. The inner bank rises 2.5m above the base of the fosse and 1.4m above the interior. Its inner face is also intermittently revetted with drystone masonry. The original entrance faces E. The gap through the outer bank is 5m wide but has been reduced to .5m by the insertion of drystone walling. A slight causeway then leads across the fosse to a 2m wide break through the inner bank; the W side of the latter gap is defined by a single upright stone. Much of the interior is occupied by the confused and overgrown foundations of several structures. A D-shaped structure, 5.6m x 3m internally, abuts the bank at NW, its walls now reduced to low grass-grown stony mounds. The remaining structures extend N-S across the centre of the interior and appear to consist of 3 conjoined rectangular buildings. However, due to the overgrown and ruined condition of the walls, their precise outlines and dimensions remain uncertain. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE054-083 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 22.8m A circular univallate rath and souterrain situated on a slight S facing slope overlooking Dingle Bay. The earthen enclosing bank reaches a maximum height of 2m at SW. In the E quadrant, the bank has been replaced by a later field wall. The gaps at NE and S appear to be secondary features, and a 3rd gap at NW may be the original entrance; it is 1.5m wide. The entrance to the souterrain lies directly inside the bank at N and gives access to 2 passages, linked by a short creepway. Passage 1 measures 3m N-S x 1m E-W x a maximum of .8m in height. The walls are constructed of low upright stones overlain by drystone masonry and the roof is formed by 6 large slabs. The floor slopes upwards towards the entrance gap which spans the width of the N end of the passage and is .32m high. The entrance to the 2nd passage occurs in the S wall of passage 1 and consists of a short creepway, defined on either side by an upright slab and roofed by a single lintel. It is .5m wide and .5m high. Passage 2 extends SW for c. 2m and then turns S for at least 1.5m before being blocked by fill. Apart from 2 upright slabs in the E wall, the wall is entirely of drystone construction, and the passage is roofed by 7 slabs at a maximum height of .65m above the floor.

• KE054-084 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  This small promontory juts W into Dingle Bay between Minard Head and Bull's Head. It is a maximum of 45m long and, for 34m from the landward end, is only 6m wide. Beyond this the N side projects slightly increasing the width to a maximum of 9.5m. About 8m from the landward end an impressive fosse spans the narrow neck. The base of this consists of a regular channel, rectangular in section, which measures 1.4m wide x 1.2m deep. From here the width of the fosse gradually increases to 11m at a height of 8m above the bottom. The S end has been partly backfilled to create the c. 3m long causeway which provides access to the interior. The only internal features are 2 depressions, 1m in diameter and less than .5m deep, and, midway along the N side, a 1m high mound which extends 2m S from the cliff edge.
