• KE094-023 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pasture, c. 30m to the N of a tributary of the Slaheny River and overlooking the valley of the Slaheny River to the E. This rath is indicated as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. A trackway bisects it on the 1895 OS 6-inch map; this is now the NE-SW road connecting Glanlough to the Kilgarvan road. In the 1930s Capt. D. B. O'Connell noted that the road to Gurteens ran through this possible rath and that part of it could be seen as 'a half circle on the north side of the road, and part has fallen away with the cliff on the south side' (KAS). There are no visible remains of this rath. There is a possible souterrain (KE094-023001-) in its interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

• KE094-023001 Souterrain
  Description

  In a levelled rath (KE094-023----). According to local information, the entrance to an underground passage or tunnel, which extended in a NE direction, was closed up. The NE direction of the passage suggests that it is underneath the S half of the rath. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain and the area is densely covered with overgrowth.

• KE094-024 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In rough pasture, on a N-facing slope, overlooking the Glashagoruv River to the N. Indicated as an embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 18m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map and on the 1895 OS 6-inch map the enclosing element survives SSE-NE incorporated into the field boundary system.
