Recorded monuments

• KE089-019 Standing stone
  Description

  This standing stone is situated in an area of flat bogland on the S side of the Inny valley. It rises irregularly to a rounded top and is somewhat irregular in plan at base, measuring .6m x .68m; NW-SE. It stands to a maximum height of 1.4m. Its SE edge rises almost vertically, while the other edge tapers inwardly from a point .85m above the base. 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. 172. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013

• KE089-028 Hut site
  Description

  On the W side of Coomduff, in poorly drained pasture. Semicircular remains of a ruined drystone hut, interrupted by a lintelled lamb shelter. D: 3.1m x 3m. H: .7m. T: 2.1m. 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. 1260.

• KE089-029 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 23.5m N-S, 20.7m E-W This ruined subcircular caher is located in rough pasture at the foot of Coomduff ridge, on its W side. The outline of the site along its SE sector is obscured by a later field boundary. The sod-covered enclosing wall survives to a maximum external height of 1m at S. At W it is only .3m high, and internally it does not rise much above .2m. The wall has a basal width of 2.3m. Internal and external stone facings of large flat slabs can be discerned intermittently. There is no clear evidence for an entrance. A large quantity of stone occupies the interior of the site, some of which, occurring in irregular heaps, appears to be field clearance debris. Traces of a possible hut (KE089-029001-) survive in the S part of the site, represented as a sod-covered arc of stony composition which is 1.3m wide and .5m high. 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. 581.

• KE089-030 Enclosure
  Description

  This site is marked as a circular enclosure on the first edition of the OS map. It is located on the N side of Coomduff and affords a commanding view along the Inny river valley. The site is defined by a very slight bank, averaging 2m wide, which encloses an area 13.5m N-S x 15.5m E-W. A number of large flat slabs mark the W side of the bank, which may indicate the former presence there of external stone facing. The interior of the enclosure is occupied by a scatter of small loose stones. 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. 737.

• KE089-031 Stone row
  Description

  This stone row is situated on a plateau on the NW slopes of Coomduff ridge, overlooking the Inny river. The tallest standing stone on the peninsula is located 150m to E (KE089-033----). The 8.3m long row consists of three stones, orientated NE-SW, with an outlying monolith 15.5m to SW. The stories of the row decrease in size from NE to SW. The tallest measures 1.9m x 1.4m x .6m and inclines slightly to SE. The second stands 1.2m to SW, and measures 1.2m x .9m x .4m; it inclines towards NW. The third and shortest stone stands 3.8m further to SW, and measures .7m x .5m x .35m. A prostrate slab, 7.6m to S, is largely buried in the ground and its relationship to the row is unclear. The outlier at SW is set roughly in line with the stone row and measures 1.55m x .7m x .6m; packing stones are exposed at its base (Ó Nuallain 1988, 239). Analysing the significance of this monument's orientation, Lynch concluded that it was aligned to W on the S limit of the major lunar standstill (1981b, 26). 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. 105.

• KE089-032 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 26m N-S, 22.6m E-W This rath is located on a plateau on the N side of the Coomduff ridge, overlooking the Inny river valley to N. Traces of an external fosse, 3.4m wide and .5m deep, are preserved around the perimeter of the site. The lower portion of the enclosing bank is of earth and measures .6m high on average. It is overlain by a stone wall, which appears to be a secondary feature. A .6m wide entrance occurs at E, and a modern pathway has disturbed the bank at N. Abutting the base of the bank internally are intermittent traces of a slight fosse which measures .9m wide and .3m deep. This feature may be of recent origin. 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. 503.

  Description

Standing 4.4m high; its sides rise almost vertically for half its height, then gradually taper towards a pointed top. It is rectangular in plan at base, with dimensions of 1.04m x .42m; NE-SW. A stone row (KE089-031----) occurs 150m to W. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'.
