Recorded monuments

• KE081-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 24m N-S, 25m E-W This bivallate rath is located a short distance S of the confluence of the Owroe and Inny rivers, in an area of level pastureland. The outer bank is gapped at intervals, measures 1m high, both externally and internally, and is 2.8m wide. It is overlain in places by modern field walls. The flat-bottomed fosse measures 3.1m wide, and the inner bank rises 1.7m above its base. The earthen bank measures up to 4m in basal width and falls .85m to the interior. Intermittent stretches of drystone facing flank its inner face. The second edition of the OS maps depicts a break in both enclosing banks at E. Overgrowth prevents identification of this possible entrance feature. There are scatters of stone in the level interior of the site, but none forms any distinct pattern. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 504.

• KE081-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 17.9m N-S, 25m E-W This bivallate, oval-shaped rath is located on the S side of the Inny river valley in rough, gently sloping pasture. The inner bank is composed of earth and gravel, with a number of large boulders incorporated along its base. Short stretches of irregularly coursed walling flank its inner face, particularly around the entrance area at E. It varies in internal height from .8m to 1.8m and it is up to 4.5m in basal width. The bank falls 2.9m to the base of the overgrown, though well-defined, 2.8m wide, fosse. The outer bank is composed of earth and gravel capped with irregular slabs and boulders. It rises 1m above the base of the fosse, is 1.9m wide and has an external height of .5m. It is best preserved at S, and in the NW sector it survives only as a sporadic spread of boulders and stone. It is no longer extant at E, where a 4.6m long causeway is preserved across the fosse. The stone-faced entrance gap in the inner bank at this point measures 2.3m wide. The interior of the site is traversed by a series of E-W cultivation ridges. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 505.
