• KE035-049 Standing stone
  Description

  There is no visible trace of the 'Gallaun' marked on the 1st edition of the OS map and described as 'about 5 feet (1.5m) high and 3 (.9m) thick' (OSNB Stradbally, 20). It stood on level ground less than 100m S of a tributary of the Glennahoo river. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 152. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013

• KE035-051 Enclosure
  Description

  Lisgortnatrasnee/Lios Gort na Trasnaí: Situated on a NW facing slope with extensive views towards Brandon mountain and Brandon Bay. On the 2nd edition of the OS map the site is marked c. 70m downslope from its position on the 1st edition. A slightly raised area at the latter site may indicate its location. It has been described as a circular, earthen-banked enclosure, 80 feet (24.4m) in diameter, with a 'cave of some perches leading from it' (OSNB Stradbally, 20). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 694.

• KE035-068 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Lisgortaphuca/Lios Gort an Phúca: Located on the E side of the entrance to Gleann na hUaighe, about 40m E of the river. From here the deep glaciated valley extends almost 2 miles southwards. In the OSNB (Stradbally, 19) the site is described as 'circular, and about 1.5 chains (c. 30m) in diameter and four feet (c. 1.2m) high composed of earth'. On the 2nd edition it is marked as 'site of' and the only remains appeared to be a slight curve in the field boundary to N. A natural scarp extends across the field in a N-S direction, the land to W falling steeply to the river, that to E rising more gently to the mountains. The level interior of the fort was created by artificially raising this scarp and, though now disturbed in parts, much of the W half of the enclosure is still defined by a 3.7m high drop to the field below. The curving field wall has been replaced by a straight one, but from NE through E to S a very slight bank is still discernible though no measurements are possible. The approximate overall diameter of the ringfort is at least 34m. The remains of 2 hut-sites are traceable in the interior. The northernmost is roughly circular, its wall reduced to a bank of earth and stones up to .8m high. The entrance was probably at S. The 2nd hut is roughly oval, measuring 3.7m x 3.2m internally. The enclosing bank rises 1.1m above the interior but only a few cms above the external ground level. A large earth and stone mound, about 22m to E of the site, may be composed of the debris from the levelling of the ringfort. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 695. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE035-069 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a gentle NW facing slope, this site was shown as a circular enclosure on the 1st edition of the OS map and named 'Fort' on the Fair Plan. It was not noted on the 2nd edition. It consists of a roughly circular, grass-grown mound with a slightly depressed upper surface. It measures 12.8m x 10.9m at base and c. 8m x 9m across its upper surface. The upper edge rises 1.37m above the level of the surrounding field and c. 0.43m above the central depression. The mound appears to be composed of earth and stones. The latter are exposed along the steep N edge of the cairn but do not appear to form a regular facing. Another very slight mound is traceable 56m to SW. Its outline is only vaguely discernible but it appears to be roughly circular and about 10m in diameter. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 224. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
