• KE093-042 Stone circle - multiple-stone
  Description

  In level pasture, c. 60m S of a stream at the foot of the W slope of Knockbrack. There are no visible remains of this stone circle. Windele (RIA MS 12.C.11, 293) described a circle 'of sixteen stones none of them higher than 4 feet [1.21m] and some of them four feet [1.21m] broad. The diameter is 13 paces or about 30 feet [9.1m]. It is open at the NW either as originally or by the removal of a stone…'. His accompanying sketch shows a possible axial stone. Ó Nualláin (1984a, 27, no. 42) noted that the circle was clearly of the Cork-Kerry type and 'probably consisted of seventeen orthostats enclosing an area about 9m in diameter'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

• KE093-043 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In rough pasture, on a terrace on the W slopes of Knockbrack. A roughly circular area (16.5m E-W; 14.6m N-S) defined by a drystone wall (T 1m; H 0.3m) along the W, N and S arcs and topped by a stone field boundary (T 0.6m; H 1.5m). Along the W arc, the drystone wall gradually decreases in height to interior ground level at W. The interior is grass-covered, raised (H 1.6m) on the W side to compensate for the hillslope. A small roughly rectangular field indicated on the 1895 OS 6-inch map and visible in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, V 99/100) taken in 1973 abuts the NE arc of the cashel.
