Recorded monuments

• KE005-025001 Children's burial ground
  Description

  This site is situated on rising land and has a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. It appears on the 1841-42 OS map as a circular area (KE005-025002-) which is marked 'Burial Ground for Children'. However, today it appears as an irregularly shaped enclosure which slopes greatly to the E and S, thus making the interior much lower than the surrounding land. This burial ground measures 40.65m N-S, 21m E-W internally and 45m N-S, 39m E-W externally. A mound measuring 4m x 4m internally can be found in the NW sector of the interior. A possible entrance lies to the E and measures 4m in width. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle.

• KE005-026 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 28.4m N-S, 29.6m E-W Situated in the corner of a field, this site is bounded to the N and W by fieldbanks. This univallate rath consists of a sub-circular interior enclosed by an earthen bank 4m wide, raised 1.6m above the fosse and c .9m above the interior. The enclosing fosse measures 2m in width and .5m below the height of the surrounding land. Two main gaps exist in the bank NE and SSE, measuring 3m and 2.6m in width respectively.

• KE005-027 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 26m N-S, 30m E-W This site is a univallate rath situated in the corner of a field, with fieldbanks to the W and SE. The earthen enclosing bank is 4.8m wide at the base and rises to a maximum height of 2m externally and 1.4m above the interior. The fosse, which is evident from the NW through N to E, is 1.4m wide and c .5m below the height of the surrounding land. It is difficult to distinguish the fosse since the fort is bounded by the fieldbanks, thus distorting the picture. Three main gaps appear in the bank to NNW, E and SW, measuring 2.4m, 6m and 2.6m in width. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle.
