Recorded monuments

• KE008-004 Earthwork
  Description

  According to Westropp (1909), this townland contained 'an earthwork with a low mound and small annex keyhole-shaped in plan. It lies on a cliff, 100 feet high, near Inshaboy Point, or Meenbaun, white flat, as it is now called, though not so marked on the maps.' No surface trace of this site can be found. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 1034.

• KE008-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 27.4m E-W This univallate rath has been cut along its NE bank by a fieldbank running SE-NW. The site consists of a semi-circular area enclosed by an earth and stone bank, 4.8m wide on average, 1.8m high externally and 1m high above the interior. The interior is at a higher level than the surrounding land. Towards the W sector of the interior there is an oblong mound of stone, 4.4m x 7.2m x .4m high, possibly suggesting a house-site (KE008-014001-).
