- KE043-024001 Ringfort - cashel
Description
Internal diam. 24.5m N-S, 22.5m E-W Cahercullaun/Cathair Coileáin: Situated on the lower W slopes of Ballysitteragh mountain about 40 to 50m N of a small tributary of the Milltown river. About 150m to N is the old roadway, known locally as the military road, which crosses the high mountain saddle between Ballysitteragh and Gearhane mountains, and which links the Owenmore valley on the E side of the Brandon mountain range to the Milltown valley on the W side. The site consists of a ruined cashel, with possible souterrain, which was modified and incorporated into later defensive works of unknown date. Cashel: The cashel wall is now largely defaced and collapsed, the average height of the debris being c. 1m externally and c. 0.5m internally. It was constructed of large boulders, and short sections of the inner and outer faces are preserved to a maximum height of .25m. At the one point where it can be determined, the wall thickness is 4.4m. There is possibly stepped facing on the outer face of the wall at N. The impression of the wall gained from earlier accounts is somewhat different as there is generally agreement that the wall was 9 feet thick (2.74m) and up to 12 feet (3.66m) high in parts. The original entrance may have been in the SW sector which is now occupied by part of the later defensive works. Souterrain: A hollow in the NE sector of the interior may mark the location of a souterrain. It is 1.2m x 1.5m in diameter and .3 to .4m deep. An aperture at its W side is .2m high and extends at least .5m to W; it is overlain by 2 superimposed slabs. A short distance to SE of this hollow, 5 stones form a line 4.2m long. One of the stones stands upright while the others are prostrate. The function of this feature is not known. Westropp (1902, 699) mentions a clochaun in the interior but as no earlier accounts refer to this it is possible he was mistaken. Later Defensive Works: The cashel remains occupy the NE corner of a large rectangular enclosure measuring 73.5m E-W and 44m N-S. The SW section of the cashel wall is occupied by 2 large mounds of stone collapse, apparently the ruins of a gate-house tower. From the S side of the S mound a low bank extends 18.5m in a roughly W direction, terminating at a roughly circular structure, 3 to 3.25m in diameter, which is now reduced to a mound of stone collapse with a hollow centre. The only other feature visible on the site is a wedge-shaped structure which abuts the inner face of the N wall of the large enclosure. It measures 9m x 9m to 4m internally and the enclosing bank of earth and stone is .2 to .4m high. The large mounds are up to 2.95m high and stand 1.7m apart, the ground between being slightly raised. The details provided in earlier accounts are slightly confusing, but it appears that these mounds are the remains of a gate-house tower which was added to the cashel at some later but undetermined date. The structure is named 'Tower (in ruins)' on the OS maps. In the OSNB (Dingle, book 2, 19) the gateway is described as 6 feet (1.8m) wide and 18 feet (5.5m) thick, and 2 perforated stones, for receiving the gate or door, were also noted. In the OSL mention is made of 'two fragments of walls of a military castle, 16 feet (4.9m) high and 7 feet (2.1m) thick and well grouted'. These are placed on the E side of the cashel, but as the gateway is not mentioned in this account it is probable that it is the 'tower' which is being described. Curran (no.76) visited the site in 1870 and was locally informed that the gateway had formerly been arched or lintelled over and that guard-chambers were present on either side. The OSNB account also mentions an arch. Chatterton (1839, 173-5) noted that the walls of the tower bulged at the base and that the remains of steps, leading to the top of the wall, were visible on the inner face. The wall of the large enclosure was previously described as 4 to 10 feet (1.2 to 3m) high and 2.5 feet (.76m) thick (OSNB). Local tradition asserts that this fort was built by Coileán Ó Duinn (or Ó Duibhne) who used the large enclosure to protect his animals from wolves at night (An Seabhac 1939, 24). O'Donovan (OSM) was also of the opinion that this acted as a bawn or cattle enclosure associated with the 'castle'. At present the enclosure is defined to N by a low wall, to W by what appears to be a field wall, to S by a low bank, .4m high, with a small stream flowing outside it, and to E by a lane way. The ruinous nature of the present remains prohibits definite interpretation of the later remains, and their date and precise function remains unknown. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 573.

- KE043-025 Souterrain
Description
The souterrain situated in rough, rocky pastureland on the lower W slopes of Ballysitteragh is not now accessible. A series of clearance cairns occupies the centre of a small triangular field, and at the SW edge of one of these is an opening in the roof of a small drystone-walled passage which extends c. 2m to NNE and c. 1m to SW before being blocked by collapse; the gap is not sufficient to allow access. The passage measures .5m in width, a maximum of .6m in height and is roofed by flat slabs. At the SE edge of the clearance cairn is a small opening, only .1m in diameter, which may indicate the location of a further passage or chamber. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 769.

- KE043-026 Ringfort - rath
Description
National Monument No. 10055. Internal diam. 25m N-S, 26.7m E-W. A bivallate rath situated on the lower SW slopes of Ballysitteragh mountain, with good clear views along the valley of the Milltown river. The subcircular interior, containing the remains of 2 or possibly 3 hut-sites, is enclosed by 2 earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank averages 3.8m in width and 2.8m in height above the base of the fosse. It is faced internally with well-preserved drystone-masonry which stands to a maximum height of 1.7m. The fosse is c. 4m wide. The outer bank is less substantial than the inner one. It varies from 1 to 2m in height above the fosse and from .2 to .9m above the external ground level. It is chiefly composed of earth, but sections of drystone revetment walling are preserved on both the inner and outer faces. A small, stony projection at S may simply be field clearance debris. The entrance gap at WNW is probably secondary. The original entrance faces SW. The gap through the inner bank is .65m wide and the drystone walling lining both sides is a maximum of .5m high. The gap through the outer bank is 2.2m wide but is somewhat confused by the field wall which runs up to its S side. The fosse in this area is very shallow and there is no clearly-defined causeway, but a single stone on edge may mark its S side. The NE portion of the interior is occupied by a large spread of stone collapse, possibly the remains of 2 hut-sites. One definite structure measures 2m x 2.4m internally and is enclosed by ruined walling up to .4m high. This appears to be too small to be a hut-site and could perhaps be the remains of a sheep-shelter constructed from the material of an earlier destroyed hut. The amount of collapse in this area suggests that there may have been a 2nd hut-site and that the huts may have been constructed on a platform similar to that at KE043-081----. A couple of stretches of low stone-facing may define the outer edge of this latter feature. A pathway between this area and the main entrance is paved with flags and partly lined on either side with stones set on edge. A hut-site located directly inside the bank at NW appears to have been rectangular in plan internally, but, where visible, the outer wall-face is curved. The remains are very collapsed and the wall-faces stand to a maximum height of only .25m. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

- KE043-028001 Children's burial ground
Description
This circular enclosure, in use until the 19th century as a calluragh burial ground (KE043-028001-) (OSNB Dingle, book 2, 20), is situated on the S side of the valley that lies between the W spurs of Brandon Peak and Ballysitteragh mountain. The foundations of 3 huts can be traced within the enclosure, and the remainder of the interior is completely taken up with graves, the majority of which are low mounds c. 1.25 to 1.5m long and .5m high, often defined at their E and W ends by low upright stones. A cross-slab (1) lies loose on one of these graves and a 2nd cross-slab (2) stands upright on a cairn of stones which lies about 10m E of the enclosure. The enclosure measures 34m E-W x 31.5m N-S internally. Its enclosing wall is now largely reduced to a band of stone collapse, up to .5m high, the inner and outer faces visible only intermittently. In the N sector, the wall is surmounted by a modern field wall, and a laneway skirts the W part of the site. Access to the interior is provided by a 1.5m wide gap at ESE. A large upright slab, 1.25m high, lines the N side of the gap and a slab of similar dimensions stands at right angles to the first on the S side. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 841.

- KE043-059 Ringfort - rath
Description
Internal diam. 26m This univallate ringfort KE043-059---- encloses the remains of a circular hut (KE043-059001-) and a drystone-built souterrain (KE043-059002-) of uncertain extent. It is situated in rough, fairly level pastureland on the W slopes of Ballysitteragh mountain. The site is very ruined and has also been considerably modified, and it is not clear whether it was originally enclosed by a stone wall or by a stone-revetted earthen bank. The name 'Caher' on the Fair Plan suggests the former but this term is not always diagnostic; a nearby rath is also named 'Caher' on the Fair Plan. At present the enclosing element consists for the most part of a stony bank, up to 1.5m high, which preserves some fragments of an inner stone face and also some possible fragments of an outer face. The remains are particularly disturbed along the W sector where a field wall bounds the site and along the N sector where a laneway and field wall skirt the enclosure. The field walls do not continue the curving outline of the remainder of the enclosure but do appear to overlie the earlier bank or wall in places. The circular hut in the E sector of the interior is c. 4m in diameter, and its wall, now largely defaced and collapsed, survives to a maximum height of c. 1m. Only 2 short sections of the souterrain are now visible. The 1st consists of a 2m long section of passage, located directly E of the hut-site. The opening is too small to allow access but the passage is no more than .35m high at present, is of drystone construction and is aligned NW-SE. To N of the hut, a stony ridge runs E-W for 10m; this may indicate the location of part of a passage linking this 1st section of the souterrain to a 2nd section in the N sector. The latter consists of a section of passage which is 4m long, .55m wide and c. 0.5m high; it is aligned NE-SW. The drystone-built side-walls and flagged roof are preserved only in the SW half; the remainder now consisting only of an open, unfaced hollow; both ends are blocked by collapse.

On a natural terrace on an otherwise steep rocky mountain slope.
