• KE039-038 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Folklore collected from Ballymacelligott School recorded the following tradition: ' Finne Caol (or Caobh or Chaobh) - Situated in James Blennerhassetts at Gort 'Sléib[h]e. Children are cured there. There is no bottom to it. Rounds were made there up to about 1890. One should go before sunrise. If persons were seen near it, the cure was frustrated. About 1880 Mrs. Lyons came here three mornings and on the third morning when going away she met William Myles. She was not at all thankful to him though her rounds were completed & her cure finished. The special date is connected with the well. The secretiveness was perhaps, an old pagan desire to prevent human respect & unworthy motives in the devotees. Pat McQuinn of Currane's Parish tells the origin of the well. A woman not of this world used to come washing to a house in Magh Glas (where Richard Mc Elligott now lives). No one ever stayed to see her washing, until one night two spalpeens watched her. When she noticed this she went out the south door. They followed her towards James Hassetts where William Myles lived then. At the last her steps were becoming longer & longer. Finally her right foot went down & she disappeared. The well then sprang up. She never came again to wash. The water in the well can be taken as a cure when fever stricken. A further detail comes from John Donoghue (c. 1870) who heard it from Thomas Moriarty (1825-1925). "One man followed her. His name was Pickett. She cursed him thus "May his name be ever scarce & may he have not four of his name to shoulder his coffin" (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0443, Pages 055-6; https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4706340/4704124). Folklore collected from Ballyseedy School recorded that; 'There was a well situated in Gortalea long ago, at which people who had sickness or any disease would go to pay "rounds". They should go three mornings in succession and they should not be seen going there by anyone. If they were seen they would die. A woman went to the well for two mornings and she was not seen by anyone. On the third morning, as she was going along the road, she heard somebody walking after her. She looked back and saw a strange woman walking after her, who asked her where was she going. She answered she was going to pay rounds at the well. The woman turned back home and in a week after she died. After dying she used to be seen near the well' (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0442, Page 134;https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4706336/4703850). Ó Danachair (1958, 163) recorded the following about this doubtful well; '"Finughea Well" on 1900 map. "Finnehy Well" local. A pool, about four yards in diameter, said to be bottomless, in a marshy field. Said to have been a holy well formerly, and to have cured, among others, a crippled girl. Legend: If one going to seek a cure met another person, the cure was not obtained'. The holy well was described by O'Hare (2000, 66-7) as; 'The presence of Finughea Well is' recorded on both editions of the OS maps. It is described by the OSNB (1841 Ballymacelligott 2 37) as a well c. 8ft (c. 2.43m) broad of unknown depth, with pure spring water rising from limestone rocks. It was said to have taken its name from the McElligotts' housemaid, who was drowned in it. The spring has been largely drained away, however the area is still wet and boggy. The landowner informed the author that the believed to have been made by a witch who lived in a small house, immediately south of a ringfort, which is situated a number of fields to the south of the well, on the far side of the Great Southern & Western Railway line. She was making a brew one day when a man called Pickett (Piggott?) chased her down to this spot; she disappeared into the well and was never seen again'.

• KE039-042 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Ringfort described by O'Hare (2000, 89) as follows; 'The ringfort consists of a roughly circular area (28m north-south; 30m east-west) enclosed by an earthen bank and fosse. It lies immediately north of a farmyard, to which it now forms an extension. The surrounding land is under pasture and slopes to the north-north-east. The view from the interior is limited. The internal face of the earthen bank appears best preserved on the north and west. It stands to a maximum height of 0.6m on the north. In contrast, on the north-east, east and south-east, the internal face is denuded and has been badly trampled by cattle. The external bank face is, for the most part, well preserved. It stands to a maximum height of 1.45m on the north-north-west. The bank is interrupted for a distance of 10.7m on the south-south-west; the farmyard lies immediately outside of it here. A break, probably modern and now closed by a farm gate, lies to the north-north-cast. It is 3.2m wide. A faint slope into the external bank face from east to south-south-east and again from south-west to north-west suggests the former presence of a fosse. The interior is somewhat worn by its use as an access route for the fields to the northwest'. See attached Google Earth orthoimages Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 7 June 2022

• KE039-159 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Excavation by Michael Connolly in 2001 under licence no. 01E1207 was summarised as follows; 'This excavation of five isolated deposits/features noted during licensed monitoring of topsoil-stripping of a farm access road was associated with the realignment of the N22 between Bealagrellagh and Gortatlea, Co. Kerry. The five deposits were in a small area and included the fill of a truncated post-hole of unknown date, the ashes from a modern coal fire and a deposit of fire-shattered stone, charcoal and black soil, filling a small shallow pit of unknown date. Nothing else of significance was noted during the excavations' (Connolly 2003, 170; www.excavations.ie 2001:573). The record for this monument has been assessed in relation to its proposed inclusion in the revised statutory Record of Monuments and Places (RMP). The evidence indicates that the monument has been totally removed (both above- and below-ground archaeology). In consequence, it will not be included in the revised RMP.

• KE039-167 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  This is one of 10 pits, all of which contained either charcoal or traces of burning, which were excavated in 2000 by Frank Coyne, under licence no. 00E0769 which was summarised as follows; 'Monitoring of the N22 Bealagrellagh to Gortatlea N22 realignment uncovered several pits, a portion of a fulacht fiadh and a ring-barrow, of which only the northern half extended into the area under construction. Ten pits were excavated, all of which contained either charcoal or traces of burning, while one pit produced several sherds of Beaker pottery and a portion of a stone axehead. No surface indication of the ring-barrow was noted before topsoil-stripping. The southern half of this site extends under the existing Tralee–Farranfore road. The exposed portion of the site measures 25m east–west, consisting of a circular ditch 1m wide and 0.35m deep. A small quantity of cremated bone was recovered from a shallow depression in the centre of the barrow, but no other artefact was present. The southernmost portion of a fulacht fiadh extended onto the area of construction and suffered accidental damage from machinery. This necessitated the excavation of the exposed portion of this burnt mound. The area under investigation measured 2m north–south by 9m. This consisted of heat-shattered red sandstones with occasional inclusions of charcoal, to a maximum depth of 1.5m. Removal of this deposit exposed the underlying naturally occurring boulder clay. No features were found cut into this clay, and it appears that the trough area is in the main body of the mound to the north, off the line of the roadway' (Coyne 2002, 146; www.excavations.ie 2000:0435).

  'This site is situated in a large field, which is still marshy in places but has been partially reclaimed. It consists of a low, sub-circular mound measuring 12.2m N-S and 10.4m E-W. The mound is on average 0.35m high and there is no evidence for a trough.Probing revealed the presence of stone and black soil in the mound.'

• KE039-183 Burnt mound
  Description

  'This possible site was recorded by the author in 1999 and subsequently damaged during the course of works on the re-alignment of the N22 roadway through the townland of Gortatlea. The site was located close to a drainage trench in an area that had been reclaimed. It remained as a very low undulation in the ground surface measuring 6m N-S by 4m E-W and remaining only to a height of 0.21m. The site was subsequently excavated following damage by machinery and a spread of fire shattered stone and charcoal was uncovered. The burnt spread itself was quite shallow with a maximum depth of only 0.19cms and an extent of only 2.6 X 2.2m. The spread consisted of blackened soil, fire shattered red sandstone and charcoal, material normally found in mounds associated with fulachta fiadh. The spread rested directly on the grey clay subsoil and was sealed by the light brown peat. While the spread is small and shallow, the fact that the depth of the burnt spread increases towards the north may indicate that the main body of any mound rested in this area. As such, it would seem possible that the small burnt spread of blackened soil, fire shattered stone and charcoal could represent the outer edge of a that has substantially been destroyed by drainage works to the immediate north and east. Located 14m to the south of the spread a piece of timber was visible in the east facing section of the pipeline trench. The timber was oak and was clearly worked - it was visibly curved, the bark had been removed and its visible surface showed evidence of having been burnt. The timber measures 0.62m long, 0.18m wide and is 9cms, in thickness. It is clearly curved and has been deliberately fashioned from a large wooden plank. It may be part of a wooden trough although there are other possible explanations.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co.

  Description

  'This excavation [Excavation No: OOE0779] was occasioned by the uncovering of a number of features cut into the subsoil during the licensed monitoring of topsoil-stripping on the N22 realignment from Bealagrellagh to Gortatlea. The site consists of a subcircular ditch, c. 1m wide, which encloses an area measuring 16.6m north-south by 15.9m. The ditch would appear to have been dug in sections and varies between a sharp V-shape and a shallovv U-shape in section. The ditch does not complete a full circle, and there is an entrance feature on the north-eastern side.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co.

• KE039-186 Burnt spread
  Description

  'The burnt spread occurred as a loose, black soil with fire-shattered red sandstone and charcoal. It extended along the pipeline corridor for a length of 2.2m north-south and across part of the corridor for a distance of 2.6m east-west. The deposit was a maximum of 0.19m in depth and got gradually more shallow from north to south. The Gortatlea site represents only the barest remains of a probable /fulacht fiadh and therefore it is difficult to make any suggestions as to its size, etc. Yet the composition of the burnt spread and the siting of the find is consistent with sites of this type. A curved, heavy, worked timber recovered 14m from the spread possibly represents the remains of a wooden trough associated with the fulacht fiadh, yet the possibility that it represents something entirely different should not be discounted.'
