Recorded monuments

• KE066-009 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, to the SSW of a farmhouse. This rath is not visible at ground level. According to local information, it was levelled in the early 1900s and had consisted of a single bank and fosse. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map, bisected off-centre to the N by an E-W field boundary. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

• KE066-012 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In a garden, to the W of a stream and wooded area. There are no visible remains of this fulacht fia. According to local information, earth was deposited over it during the construction of houses. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

• KE066-013 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a SSW-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure and on the 1939 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) incorporated into the field boundary system SW-NE. A circular area defined by a wide grass-covered bank with a possible entrance at E is visible in an aerial photograph (ACAP, V 164/43). The general area is now occupied by a housing development.

• KE066-014 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A low horseshoe-shaped mound (4m E-W; 2.8m N-S; H 0.15m) of burnt material, with the opening (2.1m N-S; 0.6m E-W; D 0.1m) facing S, was inspected here in 1999. Subsequent to the inspection, archaeological test trenching revealed that the fulacht fia material extended beyond the depiction of the site on the 1894 OS 6-inch map (Purcell 2003, 166). Excavation of the S part of the fulacht fia later revealed burnt material (D 0.32m) which had been disturbed and relocated due to ploughing and drainage works (Purcell 2004a, 215).

• KE066-142 Enclosure
  Description

It is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
