• KE097-029 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  St Michael's Well/Tobar Mhichíl: Situated close to the shore on the NW side of Ballinskelligs Bay, this stone-lined pool, 1m x 0.65m, is covered by a roughly built beehive-shaped structure that stands 2.3m high and is 2.8m in overall diameter. It features a lintelled entrance at SE, and a paved pathway runs around its circumference. A major pattern, comprising religious devotions at the well followed by games and dancing, used to be held here on the 29th of September. Smith recorded that during the mid-eighteenth century a 'great concourse of people' visited the well on this date, some bringing 'their sick, blind and lame friends, in order, as they imagine, to be healed by this miraculous water' (1756, 103). Delap noted that a turas or pilgrimage to St Buonia's (KE088-027004-) and St Finan's Well (KE096-007----), both in The Glen, and over Kilkeaveragh mountain to Coomanaspig holy well (KE087-052001-), formed part of this pattern in the early twentieth century (1911, 411). Crawford noted the custom of placing token offerings, such as medals, crosses, beads, buttons, scapulars, nails and threads from shawl fringes, in the interstices of the beehive structure on pattern days (1915, 155). The pattern day is still observed locally. See attached photographs of St Michael's Well, Co. Kerry, taken 1946 by Caoimhín Ó Danachair courtesy of and © National Folklore Collection, UCD.

• KE097-066 Fish palace
  Description

  In level pasture beside the W shore of Ballinskelligs Bay. According to Went (1946, 151, fig. 7C) Sir William Petty 'operated a pilchard curing-station here in 1675 and subsequent years. The remains of a building, locally called pailís éisc may in fact, be a successor to one of Petty's presses.' The largely intact, well-constructed, rubble stone walls (T 0.65m; H 2.6m) of a roofless, rectangular structure (int. 15.3m NE-SW; 5m SE-NW) is still known locally as 'pailís éisc' or a fish palace. The damaged entrance (Wth 1.4m; H 1.9m) with a segmental arch of semi-dressed slabs is in the NE wall, facing what appears to be the remnants of a slipway c. 20m to the NE. Two window opes, with flat arches, are in the SE wall. A recently damaged and irregular-shaped opening near the SW end of the same wall may originally have been a window ope. A short passage (L 3m; Wth 1.7m), supported by a quarter-circle stone arch, leads from the higher ground on the NW side of the building to an opening (Wth 1.1m) near the SW end of the NW wall. This rectangular opening is 1.7m above interior floor level. Its function is unclear. This fish palace may have been associated with the remains of an 'ancient hamlet' (KE097-035----) recorded in Ballinskelligs townland. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
