- KE036-032 Enclosure
Description
This site consists of a curved section of earthen bank that may be the remains of a small enclosure c. 8m in diameter internally. However, there is no trace of a continuation of the bank around the remainder of the perimeter. It is situated on the W slopes of the valley about 75m from a small river. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage (compiler) 'Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.' Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 1543. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 31 May 2013
- KE036-033 Fulacht fia
Description
A few metres from the W bank of the stream flowing northwards along this valley, is a barely discernible circular mound no more than 5m in diameter. The grass cover apparently conceals a spread of burnt stones (local information). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 247. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013

Due to impenetrable nature of the site and its immediate surrounds, it is impossible to properly examine the site.

Description
Situated on a steep east facing slope near the entrance to a N-S valley with extensive views north to Tralee Bay. The land use is rough grazing for sheep with exposed rock outcrops, thin peat cover and heather. Located directly uphill from a cabin and hut site. Clochán (ext. dims. 3.5m E-W x 3.1m N-S; max H 1.6m) built on a square base with the remains of a collapsed corbelled roof above the S facing entrance lintel (H 0.75m; Wth 0.6m). The structure is partially dug into the slope to the W and has a small, level terrace (Wth 0.8m), built around the E and S walls.

Two sections of relict field boundary partially surround a cleared ‘green’ area. One section c, 22m in length, running N from an upstanding E-W boundary ending just where a track meets the green area. It has been levelled to the ground. At the NW corner of this green area a second short section of relict field boundary was recorded . It was c. 14m in length and was built along the top of a steep scarp .A hut site is c. 12m to the NW of this relict boundary and there is an historic sheep fold further to the E.

- KE036-110 House - indeterminate date
Description
Situated near the base of a steep E facing slope near the entrance to a N-S valley with extensive views N to Tralee Bay. The land use is rough grazing for sheep with exposed rock outcrops, thin peat cover and heather. Present remains consists of a group of three related sites. First there is a rectangular cabin (int. dims. 4.3m x 2.6m; wall H 1.2m; T 0.75m), orientated E-W and partially dug into the hill at its W end. Ground plan divided in half by a wall 2m from W end. There is a small niche in the NW corner and a narrow entrance (Wth 0.5m) in the NE corner. The entrance to the cabin leads out to the partially denuded remains of a hut site (diam. 3m). This second site is most likely to be an earlier hut site but it could be a contemporary small enclosure built onto the cabin. The third site is 4m down slope to the E and is a rectangular feature measuring 4.5m N-S by 2m E-W. It is very degraded and has an uneven, stony interior which might suggest it was built as a turf–drying area or for storing other material off the damp ground.

Description
Sited on a level terrace near the top of a steep E facing slope with views over Tralee Bay. The land use consists of rough, upland grazing for sheep. Rectangular hut site (ext. dims. ) 4m N-S x 3m E-W), aligned N-S, with a maximum wall height of c. 1m. There is no obvious entrance, possibly indicating it was used as an animal enclosure.

- KE036-114 House - vernacular house
Description
Sited on a level terrace near the top of a steep E facing slope with views over Tralee Bay. The land use consists of rough, upland grazing for sheep. This is a large two phase monument consisting of a E-W rectangular house (int. dims. 7.8m x 2.8m; wall T 0.8m; max H 0.9m) built over the older remains of a large hut site. The sub-circular hut site (ext. dims. 3.2m N-S x 3.2m E-W) with possible entrance (Wth 0.7m) at S. The larger possible house site has been partially built over the W wall of the hut site and dug into the slope at its W end. Orientated east-west it measures (int.) 7.8m L and 2.8m W. The house has a small internal division c. 2m from the W end. There is no obvious entrance.

- KE036-119 House - vernacular house
Description
Situated at N end of a large area of rough grazing. Established forestry lies just to the N. Close to the base of a long N-facing slope with extensive views N to Tralee Bay. Overgrown with bracken and briars and semi-ruinous but in a stable condition. Known locally as a famine village, which probably also included the concentration of hut sites to the southwest in Duagh. A large area c. 2-3acres in extent, of cultivation ridges or ‘lazy-beds’ contained within two enclosed fields surrounded by stone and earth boundaries (Wth c. 2m; H c. 0.6m). Close to the W boundary was the rectangular foundations of a dwelling (dims. 10m x 5.5m) orientated north-south which is not shown on any of the OSi maps, suggesting it was ruined already by the time of the 1841 ed. OSi 6-inch map. This building had an entrance on the E side but it is levelled to the foundations. This probably pre-dated the cultivation ridges (KE036-119001-) as they had been constructed right up against the foundations.

Description
Situated at N end of a large area of rough grazing. Established forestry lies just to the N. Close to the base of a long N-facing slope with extensive views N to Tralee Bay. Overgrown with bracken and briars and semi-ruinous but in a stable condition. Known locally as a famine village, which probably also included the concentration of hut sites to the southwest in Duagh.

- KE036-121 Structure
Description
Situated on the eastern boundary of a field of improved pasture used for animal grazing. At the base of a steep slope next to a stream. Partially obscured by small trees, otherwise in good condition. This site consists of a rectangular structure (dims. 8m N-S x 3m E-W) dug into the base of a very steep slope immediately next to a stream, with a lean to roof would have had a maximum height of c. 1.6m. This site would have been almost invisible from all directions and its location next to a stream, suggesting that this was probably the site of a poteen still.

- KE036-122 Field boundary
Description
Situated at the SW corner of a large field of rough grazing at the base of N-facing slope with views over Tralee Bay. The land is used for grazing sheep. This monument is partially broken down but clearly visible within an area of tussocky grasses. This monument was found as part of licensed monitoring (22E040) required for a Grant of Afforestation. This monument consists of a length of relict field boundary (L. c. 60m; Wth 1m; H 0.6m) running E-W. It was built of random field stones and the E end is approximately 20m from an open drain. The W end finished short of the plot boundary and had probably been removed during earlier reclamation. It would appear that this field boundary is connected with the historic farm (KE036-119----) and field complex (KE036-119001-) located further to the W.
