Recorded monuments

• KE057-098001 Bullaun stone
  Description

  On the N verge of a farm road. A moss-covered irregularly shaped boulder (1.06m x 0.67m; H 0.45m) with a roughly central circular bowl-shaped hollow (diam. c. 0.25m; D 0.075m) in its upper surface. Cooke (1906, 10) noted that the water in the hollow is 'received from the droppings off the bank and bushes above' and that it had 'due superstition attached to it'. He also noted that it had rags hung around it and that prayers were said there (ibid.). A mature whitethorn tree spreads its branches over the stone. Traditionally this bullaun stone formed part of the 'rounds' ritual which could commence either here or at 'Tobermurry' (KE058-085----), c. 200m to the E, and involved proceeding clockwise around the remains of a possible church (KE058-084001-) in a children's burial ground (KE058-084----) which is situated between the bullaun stone and the well (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club). The 'rounds' were paid after dark or before daylight on 1st May and 1st August (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club). A possible holy well (KE057-098----) may also be in the vicinity. See attached photographs of bullaun stone courtesy of Amanda Clarke.

• KE057-120 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In reclaimed pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. This fulacht fia is not visible at ground level. A roughly circular mound (diam. c. 15ft [4.57m]; H c. 15in [0.38m]) of burnt material was, according to local information, located here. The mound was levelled in the early 1990s.

• KE058-084 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In pasture, in a low-lying area, to the S of a lane. A roughly D-shaped area (24m N-S) defined by a slight scarp SE-W, by a N-S field boundary at E and by a straight N side (L 79m) formed by a road. There are many mounds and depressions in the interior and stones lie randomly on the surface. Three distinct mounds (max. dims. c. 1.8m x 1m; H 0.4m) lie directly S of the road and five oval depressions (max. dims. 3.2m x 1.05m) occur immediately inside the top edge of the scarp. In the 1940s it was mentioned as a 'Killouragh' which was still in use and it was noted that some mounds, evidently grave sites, were 'strewn with white pebbles' (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club). In the 1940s it was recorded that 'up to quite recently' the ruins of the possible church (KE058-084001-) and 'a plot surrounding it was used as a burial place for very young children and also for unbaptised children' (ITA). The church formed part of the 'rounds' ritual which also involved visiting two nearby holy wells (KE058-085----, KE057-098----) to the E and W, respectively. Traditionally the 'rounds' were paid after dark or before daylight on 1st May and 1st August and could commence at either of the holy wells and involved proceeding clockwise around the remains of the possible church (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club). It was also noted that during the Penal times, this was 'one of the places where Mass was celebrated in the open air' (ITA). There is a holy well (KE058-085----), called 'Tobermurry', c. 40m to the E. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

• KE058-084001 Church
  Description

  In a children's burial ground (KE058-084----). This possible church is not visible at ground level. In a description of the route of the 'rounds' at Kilclogherane, it was recorded in the 1940s that the pilgrims 'proceed clockwise round what is probably the remains of an ancient church of fairly large dimensions' (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club). There is also a 'tradition that a colony of saints and monks lived here and were afterwards transferred to Muckross' (CKFC). This possible church was also recorded in the 1940s as an 'old ruin' with a burial ground surrounding it (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). However, Cooke (1906, 11), stated that 'there is no trace of any building or ruin of any old church here or in the immediate vicinity'.

• KE058-085 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In a verge, at the S side of a lane and c. 40m E of a children's burial ground (KE058-084----). The holy well known as Tobermurry, which is partially covered with overgrowth, consists of a flat kneeling stone with a depression in its upper surface, where water gathers. A U-shaped stone (L 0.48m; H 0.37m) stands upright and inverted on the kneeling stone and forms an arch in front of the depression, the opening (Wth 0.28m; H 0.23m) in the arch giving access to the depression. Several other stones are built up around either side of the arch. Cooke (1906, 10) noted 'an old hawthorn-tree, surrounded by bushes, brambles and ferns' in the immediate vicinity of Tobermurry and a local person recalls that up to the 1960s pieces of black cloth, rosary beads and crosses, made from a nearby bush, hung close to the well but these are no longer evident. 'Tobermurry' was described in the 1940s as 'much venerated' in the neighbourhood and surrounding districts and several cures were attributed to it by those who had made the 'rounds' there (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club). Traditionally, the 'rounds' were made after dark or before daylight on 1st May and 1st August and could commence either here at 'Tobermurry' or at a bullaun stone (KE057-098001-) c. 200m to the W and involved proceeding clockwise around the remains of a possible church (KE058-084001-) in the children's burial ground (KE058-084----) which is situated between the well and the bullaun stone (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club). As part of the 'rounds', pilgrims tied bits of rags on the hawthorn tree and bushes' (Cooke 1906, 10). In the 1940s, the holy well was described as being 'about 6" [0.15m] high and the same in breadth', sited on the ditch under bushes and with a slab of brown sandstone forming its roof (ITA). It was also noted that 'various holy emblems, including crucifixes, pictures, and medallions' hung on the bushes in the vicinity (ITA).

The recess is partially blocked by a build-up of soil. The kiln has a stone-lined funnel (diam. 1.2m; D c. 2m).
