• KE034-016 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 22.7m E-W, 26.2m N-S A univallate rath situated on the lower, S facing slopes of Beenmore, overlooking the level, marshy plain drained by the Feohanagh river and its tributaries. The earthen bank rises up to 2.5m in height and is c. 3.4m wide. The external fosse is c. 0.75m deep and 2.4m wide. The external bank or wall visible along the NW sector is part of the field boundary system shown on the OS maps. This crosses the fosse at W and continues, along the SW sector, as a drystone revetment to the outer face of the bank; a ramp or path runs along the top of the revetment below the crest of the bank. The enclosure abuts the roadway to N and a short stretch of the fosse is excluded from the field but visible along the verge of the road. The drystone revetment walling visible along much of the inner face of the bank, to a maximum height of 1.5m, may be an original feature of the site. An entrance gap occurs at ENE. What appears to be the gable end of a rectangular house has been set back into the inner face of the bank at N. It is 3.4m wide and 2m high; the adjoining side wall to W is represented by only low foundations, c. 14.4m long, 1.15m wide and .5m high. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 455.

• KE034-168 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Possible promontory fort described in 2002 as follows; ‘A nearly inaccessible north-facing ridge-backed headland shows faint evidence of having been defended on the landward side by a rock-cut fosse and collapsed and grassed over wall. Much of the headlands interior has eroded down to the bedrock and the interior is featureless, save for a high central spine. What looks like collapsed walls are visible on the promontory but the site is too dangerous to examine in detail. Although a likely site for a fortification, this remains only a possible site, as the surface indications are too slight to ascertain their nature. The area is one of hilly boggy grazing and the site is overlooked by higher ground inland and to the west’ (Casey 2002, 51, no. R).
