- KE058-070: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-070----. In pasture, on a W-facing slope. A roughly circular area (30m N-S) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The denuded inner bank (Wth 3.35m; int. H 1.25m; ext. H 0.85m) is earthen with some stones evident. The fosse (Wth 3.6m) is covered with overgrowth in places. The earthen outer bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.4m) is evident all round with some stone-facing at N. The interior is lightly covered with overgrowth and there is a rectangular depression (L c. 2m x 1m) in the NW quadrant. There is a possible entrance (Wth c. 1m through the inner bank; Wth c. 1.5m through the outer bank) at NE. Numerous gaps occur in both banks. This is probably one of two raths (see KE058-107----) which was mentioned in the 1840s as being in the N end of Glebe townland (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 16).

In pasture, on a W-facing slope, towards the top of a low hill. A roughly circular area (36m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 5.2m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.6m) NNW-S and by a scarp (H 1.1m) S-NNW. There is external stone-facing along the scarp SW-WNW. The stone-facing continues for a short distance along the W side of a N-S field boundary which extends N from the scarp at NW. The interior is raised, though it still retains a slight slope down to the W, and has coniferous trees growing in it. Gaps occur through the bank at NW and S. There is a possible entrance (Wth 1.5-2m) at SE. A possible trackway (on a N-S axis) is situated to the E of the field boundary and it extends N of the scarp at NW to join a possible E-W road, situated 10-15m to the N.

The foundation of this site is attributed to Saint Cummin Fada (d. 661-2). He entered Clonfert monastery Co. Galway and subsequently established a foundation here where he became abbot. Cummian was a stout defender of the Roman liturgy against the Celtic school and his Paschal epistle is still extant (Cummian's Letter: De controversia Paschali. Maura Walsh and Dáibhí Ó Cróinín (eds), Pontifical Institute of Medieval StudiesToronto (1988). Studies and Texts, No. 86).

- KE058-072002: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-072002-. In a graveyard (KE058-072003-). The ruins of a rectangular church (int. 16.75m E-W; 5.95m N-S) which is missing its W wall. The remaining walls (T 0.95m; H 2.5m) are of random rubble sandstone bonded with lime mortar and clad in ivy. The church is entered through a pointed door ope, with a chamfer-edged limestone surround, at the W end of the S wall. An inserted door (Wth ext. 1.14m; H 2.15m) in the E end of the N wall has a narrow pointed-arched door surround (Wth 0.44m) on the internal wall face, the lower portion of which is blocked by a tomb. There is a central window embrasure in the E wall with a narrow square-headed light (H 0.92m; Wth 0.15m). There is a similar window embrasure in the E end of the S wall whose light is partly removed. A wall-press is adjacent to the E of this embrasure. There is a short return of the W wall at the W end of the S wall. The remainder of the W wall is replaced by a recent wall. The interior is level and contains a number of vaults and headstones dating from the 18th century to the early 20th century. An armorial stone (KE058-072004-) bearing the Barry arms, a date of 1688 and the motto 'Boutes en avant' set into the E end of the S wall appears to have been recently reset into the wall. A stone head, said to represent St. Cummin, was recorded in 1841 as projecting near the N end of the E gable, externally (OSL, 193). In 1942 it was recorded that the stone head was originally found within the church by a man digging a grave, and was placed in the E gable (ITA). The head was subsequently removed from here (Lyne 1998, 9). According to local information, St. Cummin's foot is inserted in a wall, close to the GAA grounds, c. 1km to the E of the graveyard. The overgrown remains of a possible church (KE058-072005-) are visible to the SW of the church. According to local information, this was a monastery founded by St. Cummin.

- KE058-072003: Graveyard, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-072003-. In pasture, on the W-facing slope of a low hill, to the SW of a road. An irregular graveyard (min. L c. 91m NE-SW; min. Wth c. 52m NW-SE) enclosed by an uncoursed rubble wall (H c. 1.6m) which has been repaired recently. The entrance is in the E wall of the graveyard and a second entrance is marked by a stile at the S end of the W wall. Access to the E entrance from the main road is through a gate and stile and along an avenue (L 26m; Wth 5.5m). Cut-limestone pillars and a wrought iron gate mark the roadside entrance. There is a modern altar situated along the avenue. A path runs inside the perimeter wall. The ground is high in the NE sector and elsewhere falls from the NE down to the W and SW. There is a church (KE058-072002-) in the NE sector and the remains of a second structure to the SW of the church. Cut-stone and masonry tombs are concentrated within the church interior and outside it to the NW and SW. Many of the tombs are covered in overgrowth. Headstones date mainly to the 19th and 20th centuries. The earliest headstone noted dates to 1812. The graveyard is indicated as an irregular area (dims. c. 58m E-W; c. 50m N-S) outlined by dashes on the 1846 OS 6-inch map.

- KE058-072004: Wall monument, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE058-072004-. In Kilcummin church (KE058-072002-). A flat round-headed stone has recently been set vertically in the internal S wall of the church. The stone (H 0.84m; Wth 0.6m) is set into a crudely-built red brick wall which is built on top of the cut-limestone slab of a large tomb; masonry in the N wall of the tomb has been repointed. The stone is cracked diagonally across its centre; a detached piece at the top left-hand corner has been reset. The coat of arms is difficult to decipher; the inscribed motto reads 'Boutes en avant'. The inscription reads: 'This is the Barry's armes 1666/Here lieth the body of Mrs/Jeane Barry otherwise Leader/The wife of Mr Richard Barry/ of Killarney who departed/this life the second day of/February 1760 aged 32 years'.

In the graveyard (KE058-072003-) of Kilcummin church (KE058-072002-). The overgrown remains of the W end of a stone-built structure (max. 8.5m E-W; 4m N-S; H c. 2m) are visible to the SW of Kilcummin church (KE058-072002-). No identifiable features are visible but it may be the remains of the church referred to here in the 1940s (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club 1946 vol. 2, 700-701).

In improved pasture, on a SW-facing slope. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as the low remains of a large enclosure. This monument is present as a notable rise. Oval area (dims. 23m NE-SW; 12m NW-SE) defined by scarp (Wth 9m; H 1.6m) SW->N->NE; scarp (Wth 6m; H 1.3m) is best defined N->NE. Truncated by earth and stone field boundary (long axis NE-SW) across centre. Farm buildings and yard occupy area to S of boundary. Interior is level and grass covered. It is quite feasible that an enclosure could have been situated on this hillock and through land improvements could have been levelled out. A ringfort (KE058-070----) is located c. 60m to WNW. OS six inch map depicts a short field boundary (long axis E-W) adjacent to N; No visible surface trace. A contour is depicted upon OS mapping adjacent to S.

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.
