A drystone rectangular structure was recently removed from this location during land improvement operations (local information). It was located on a slight rise on the, E bank of the Coomnahorna river, overlooking Darrynane Bay to SW. 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. 1440.

This four-stone row is located on a level terrace on the S side of the Coomnahorna river, and commands an extensive view along the valley to Darrynane Bay at W. A small enclosure occurs adjacent to it, and a pair of standing stones (KE106-023001-) is located less than 300m to SW. Set in pasture dominated by rock outcrop, the row has a general NE-SW orientation and measures 10.44m in overall length. Two of the stones lie prostrate. One of these, at NE, measures 1.4m x .6m x .25m; the pit in which it stood until recently is located 1m NE of the second stone. The latter stands 1.4m high, and measures 1.05m x .5m at base. The second prostrate stone lies 1.9m further to SW, and measures 3.7m x .8m x .5m. The tallest stone, 3.2m to SW, stands 3.38m high and inclines towards E; at base it measures 1m x .6m (Ó Nualláin 1988, 239). A roughly circular enclosure occurs 3m SE of the stone row. This appears as a bank, internally stone-faced, which averages 1.25m wide and 1m high. It encloses an area measuring 4.28m N-S x 4.62m E-W. 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. 111.

Internal diam. 16.9m N-S, 16.6m E-W This circular caher is located on the summit of a steep-sided rocky knoll on the E side of the Coomnahorna river valley, overlooking Darrynane Bay to SW. The enclosing wall is roughly faced internally and externally with large slabs, and features a rubble core. It is much collapsed at NW and S, where the debris extends down the sides of the knoll. The wall survives to a maximum height externally of 2.5m at NE, and averages 2.95m wide. Its inner face is generally flush with the level of the site's interior. A well-defined entrance, 1.7m wide, is located at NE. Three portal slabs flank its coursed drystone sides, two on the N side and one at S; these average 1.25m high, .7m wide and .3m thick. Two large irregular slabs block the inner side of the entrance. Much loose stone is scattered throughout the level interior of the caher. Cave: An opening to a stone-built souterrain (KE106-027001-), .8m x .5m, occurs close to the centre of the caher and gives access to a passage which extends NE-SW for a distance of 3.5m. Measuring .6m wide and .5m high, this passage features roughly coursed drystone walls and is roofed with large slabs. A small semicircular chamber opens off its SE side-wall at the NE end. This is 1m wide, .6m high and 1.3m deep, and is roofed with three lintels. The SW end of the passage opens into a second passage which extends 5.2m NW-SE. A rise in floor level blocks its NW end.

In rough hill pasture, on the upper W-facing upper slopes of Coad Mountain. The 19th-century mine workings consist of two shallow gullies from which quartz rock was extracted.

Calluragh Burial Ground: This burial ground is located in a prominent position on top of a rocky knoll, on the E side of the Coomnahorna river valley. Of irregular plan, 18m NE-SW x 19m NW-SE, its enclosing element is poorly preserved and is obscured by overgrowth. It is faced externally with horizontal courses of drystone masonry and is flush with the internal ground level. It is 1.8m wide and is overlain at E and S by modern field walls. The N limits of the site are marked by four massive sections of rock outcrop. Within its interior are a series of low, rectangular, stony mounds; these average 1.8m x 1.4m, with the longer axes orientated NW-SE. 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. 1013.

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.
