Recorded monuments

• KE058-066 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a plateau, c. 75m to the E of the Killarney-Tralee road. The rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) which is bisected by a NE-SW field boundary. It is indicated as a hachured arc NE-SW on the 1894 OS 6-inch map. The earthen bank (Wth 1.7m; int. H c. 0.6m; ext. H c. 3m) survives along the E and W arcs. The bank along the S arc has been pushed inwards and earth has been dumped along the area. There is a possible entrance at SE. The interior surface is uneven. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

• KE058-067 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a plateau, c. 130m S of a tributary of the Glanooragh River. A circular area (c. 60m E-W; c. 56m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.3m) which is lightly covered with overgrowth. Numerous gaps occur along the bank. The level interior is slightly raised. There is a possible entrance at NNW. Field boundaries (on an E-W axis) radiate from the bank externally at ENE and SE. A drainage ditch, which externally skirts the bank E-W, cuts into the base of the bank. This is probably the rath referred to in the 1840s as being in the N end of Gortnacarriga (OSNB, Aghadoe, no. 1, 28).

• KE058-092 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a gentle SW-facing slope, c. 90m E of the Killarney-Tralee road. A circular area (c. 46m E-W; c. 42m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 5.45m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 1.25m) which is breached in numerous places. The interior slopes gently down to the SW and a circular raised area was noted towards the centre. A linear ridge (H c. 0.25m), on a N-S axis, is situated to the N of the centre. The remains of a hut site (KE058-092001-) are in the NE quadrant. There is a possible entrance at SE. A N-S field boundary tangentially abuts the bank externally along the W arc. An E-W field drain and boundary are situated to the S of the rath. Four piles of dumped material, probably from the field drain, were noted between the S arc of the rath and the field drain. An outer ring of hachures NW-SSE, indicated on the 1894 OS 6-inch map, could represent an outer bank or fosse.
