Marked on the 1841-42 OS map as a large circular enclosure, this site shows up quite clearly on the Geological Survey of Ireland aerial photographs (1974). However, this site has now been ploughed out and no surface trace of it can be seen. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 269. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

While this field was being ploughed some years ago, a mound of burnt stones was removed. No surface trace survives today. A small stream ran W of the site. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 43.

A substantial fulacht fia, with a characteristic horseshoe shape was discovered here (Dunne 2000, 6 and 10). Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 02 October 2013

Three late bronze age pits filled with burnt mound-type material and a shallow narrow curvilinear cut were excavated here in 2003.

- KE005-098: Excavation - miscellaneous, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE005-098----. A shallow sub-oval pit was excavated here in 2003 (Dowd 2005, area 2). Oak charcoal from the primary fill of the pit was dated to between AD 1020 and 1270. The pit contained six pieces of iron slag which appear to represent the residues of iron smelting. Analysis of the slag showed that it contained tap slag which is produced in a shaft furnace indicating that such a furnace was in use nearby.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

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.
