• KE034-100 Field boundary
  Description

  About two-thirds of a mile (1km) to NW of KE034-139----, on the crest and NE flank of the rounded lip which impounds Lough Cruttia, on the NW slopes of the Owenmore valley, a combination of natural erosion and turf cutting has exposed a complex of pre-bog walls; it was not feasible on this occasion to determine the exact extent and layout of the system but it is apparently more extensive than that on the valley floor (KE034-139----). The peat is a maximum of 1.3 to 1.5m deep and, in general, the walls are only intermittently traceable where the tops of the walls protrude above the surface. A cursory inspection indicated that the system consists of long stretches of reasonably straight walls up to 100m in length. One wall has been recently cut through by a drain and it can be seen to be constructed on the pre-peat ground surface. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 28. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE034-104 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 16m On the 1st edition of the OS map a circular enclosure is marked here on the W side of the Owenmore valley, on the sloping hillside below Lough Cruttia. The present remains are those of a later walled enclosure, oval or sub-triangular in shape as shown on the 2nd edition. Though the present wall is relatively modern it does appear to follow the line of an earlier circular enclosure, except to S and SE. In this latter sector a curving scarp, outside the wall, completes the circular outline. It is not clear whether any part of the earlier structure is incorporated into the present remains. An entrance gap to NE is probably late but there is a suggestion of an entrance to N which may relate to the earlier enclosure. The site is titled 'fort' on the Fair Plan.

• KE034-137 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 24m A bivallate rath KE034-137---- and souterrain KE034-137001- situated on the summit of a natural knoll which commands an excellent view in all directions except to N where the site is overlooked by the Brandon mountain range. About 50m to S, the Owenmore river flows E to meet the Cloghane river on the floor of the Owenmore valley which extends NE to Brandon Bay. Marked on the 1st edition of the OS map as a single-banked enclosure with a rectangular building within, the site survives as a circular mound or platform with entrances to NE and NW. These measure 4m and 2.7m in width respectively but are not well-defined. An outer fosse and bank are preserved along the W side only. The outer bank is barely perceptible. The interior of the fort is a maximum of 2.5m above the base of the fosse, but to N the platform rises only 1m above the surrounding field. The site is traversed by 2 field walls which meet at the SSW edge of the platform. The foundations of the rectangular house KE034-137002- marked on the OS maps have been incorporated into this field boundary system. The house measures 9.5m x 4m. A souterrain located towards the SE edge of the platform is not now accessible. A narrow opening in the roof provides a very limited view of a drystone-built chamber or passage. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 442.

• KE034-138 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  A possible cashel and clochaun situated on level ground towards the S end of the narrow strip of cultivated land which lies between the foothills of the Brandon mountain range to NW and the peat bog which occupies the floor of the Owenmore valley to SE. On the OS maps a rectangular sheep-fold is marked here at the junction of 2 field walls. However the present remains consist of a platform bounded to S by a curving scarp, .75 to 1m high, and to N by the field walls (the NE wall now removed) which exhibit a convex curve which, together with the scarp, outline a roughly circular enclosure 14m in external diameter. There are faint traces of a grass-grown wall along the SW perimeter. This may formerly have been a cashel, but the evidence is insufficient for definite classification. A circular depression, 5.5m in diameter, in the NW sector may indicate the location of a hut-site. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE034-139 Field system
  Description

  The broad glaciated Owenmore valley extends SW for a distance of about 4 miles (6.4km) from Cloghane village, on the W side of Brandon Bay, to the Conor Pass and Ballysitteragh mountain. The small misfit Owenmore river, fed by numerous tributaries, some of which emanate from corrie lakes in the mountains on either side, flows along the centre of the relatively level valley floor which is up to 1 mile (1.6km) wide in places. Much of the valley floor is now covered by blanket peat which is hand cut for local use as fuel, and the removal of this peat has revealed part of a system of stone walls at a point about 50m from the NW bank of the Owenmore river and 400 to 500m NE of the confluence of that river with the Cloghane river. For the most part the peat has been cut away only to the level of the tops of the walls, but the excavation of trackways and drains through the bog has provided some vertical sections where the walls can be seen to have been built on the boulder clay which underlies the peat. Three separate walls are visible at present. The 1st wall can be traced for a distance of 30 to 40m, extending SSE-NNW in a roughly straight line. The 2nd wall is first visible at a point 40m to NNW of the N end of wall (1), and it runs E for about 60m before disappearing. The 3rd wall commences about 25m to SE of the E end of wall (2) and extends E for about 94m. The accompanying photograph shows a section of wall (2) where it has been cut through by a trackway. The peat at this point is 1.4m deep and the wall, apparently of drystone construction, is .65m high and c. 0.85m wide. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 27. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
