## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- KE093-042: Stone circle - multiple-stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE093-042----. 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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE093-043----. 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. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
- KE093-044: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE093-044----. In pasture, on the W slope of Knockbrack. A roughly circular area (12m E-W; 10.7m N-S) defined by a low earth and stone bank (Wth c. 2m; max. ext. H 0.95m) except ENE-ESE. The enclosing element contains large stones SSW-W and forms a low stone wall W-ENE. The entrance is at E. The interior is raised at W to create a level surface. There is a scattering of stones to the exterior at W. The enclosure is clearly visible on an aerial photograph (GSIAP, V 99-100) taken in 1973. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
