- KE058-060: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-060----. In pasture, on a SW-facing slope. A circular area (28.4m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by two earthen banks, an intervening fosse and an outer fosse. The inner bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.9m) is stone-faced and has numerous gaps. The intervening fosse (Wth 4m at base) is evident E-NE. The outer bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m) is evident S-SE and there is a scarp (H c. 1.2m) SE-S. The faint outline of a possible outer fosse is visible S-WSW. There are possible entrances in the inner bank at S and in the outer bank at NNE. Stones are scattered about the interior, making the surface uneven. This is the rath recorded in the 1940s on Peter O'Meara's land (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). A possible souterrain (KE058-060001-) and a hut site (KE058-060002-) are in the NE quadrant.

- KE058-060001: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-060001-. In a rath (KE058-060----). In the 1940s 'a hole' was recorded in the centre of a rath in Dromdoohig (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). An opening in the internal face of the inner bank of the rath at ESE may be an air vent for the souterrain. A roughly circular depression (diam. 1.5m; D 0.5m) at the centre of a hut site (KE058-060002-) in the NE quadrant of the rath may also represent part of this possible souterrain.

- KE058-060002: Hut site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-060002-. Within the NE quadrant of a rath (KE058-060----). The remains of a circular hut (diam. 2m), defined by a stone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.3m) abuts the inner face of the inner bank of the rath at NE. The entrance is at S. There is a possible souterrain (KE058-060001-) in the interior. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

In pasture, on a level area towards the top of a ridge. This standing stone (dims. 1.4m x 0.85m; H 2.2m) is rectangular in shape and triangular in plan and is orientated NE-SW. A cross-slab (KE058-141----) is c. 86m to the W. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

In pasture, on a level area towards the top of a ridge. This upright free-standing stone (dims. 1.15m x 0.6m; H 1.7m) is rectangular in shape and plan and orientated N-S. A small simple linear cross (shaft: L c. 7cm; arms: L c. 4.5cm) enclosed by a circle (diam. c. 5.5cm) occurs on the S face of the stone.

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.
