• KE084-019 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A circular area (21.4m E-W; 21m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.4m) ENE-E, by a scarp (H 3m) E-SW and by a more recent earthen field boundary (T 1m; H 1m) SW-ENE. The field boundary, with the remains of stone facing, is grass-covered. A shallow fosse is visible NW-N. The present entrance (Wth 1.8m) is at N. A relatively recent rectangular structure, on a WNW-ESE axis, is built into the scarp at SE and the remains of a limekiln are evident as a semicircular stone structure (diam. 2m; H 1.2m) at SSW. Both of these structures are indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. The S portion of the rath is raised to compensate for the hillslope. Trees and bushes grow along the perimeter at E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
