• KE043-136 Standing stone
  Description

  A standing stone situated in low-lying, marshy land c. 500m W of the Milltown river. It is 3.7m high, 1.59m wide at base narrowing gradually to c. 1m at top, and .45m thick on average; ENE-WSW. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 117.

• KE043-137 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated in level marshy land in the valley of the Milltown river, this site consists of a sub-circular enclosure which is bisected E-W by the townland boundary fence and by a field drain. It measures c. 10m in diameter internally but the S half of the bank, shown on the 2nd edition of the OS map, does not survive. The bank enclosing the N half of the site is c. 2m wide at base, .3 to .5m high externally and .75 to 1m high internally; it is composed of both earth and stone and is densely overgrown. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1545.

• KE043-144001 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Kilfountan Church and Calluragh burial ground/Teampall Fionntain: A roughly D-shaped or sub-oval enclosure within which are the remains of an oratory and rectangular hut, a cross-inscribed ogham stone and a bullaun stone. A quernstone from the site, probably of Disc A type (Caulfield 1969, 64 and 69), is now in the Museum in Cork. Children were still being buried here in the 19th century (OSNB Kildrum, 31). The site is located in the low-lying, level plain that lies N of Dingle Harbour. The enclosure measures 41m N-S x 28m E-W internally and is defined by a stone-faced earthen bank which reaches a maximum height of .9m at WSW. The interior is raised slightly above the external ground level and along the SE sector the enclosure is defined only by the stone-faced edge of this platform. The bank along the W half of the site is curiously irregular in comparison with the regular curve of the remainder of the outline and it may be a later field boundary. It does not differ significantly from the adjacent field fences and there is no obvious break between it and the fence that continues from it to N. It is not clear where the original entrance lay. The interior is divided NNE-SSW internally by a low bank, no more than .3m high. At its SW end, this bank merges with an irregular stone and earth mound of uncertain origin. A short distance to NE of this there is a 1.2m wide entrance gap through the dividing bank. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

• KE043-144002 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Kilfountan Church and Calluragh burial ground/Teampall Fionntain: A roughly D-shaped or sub-oval enclosure within which are the remains of an oratory and rectangular hut, a cross-inscribed ogham stone and a bullaun stone. A quernstone from the site, probably of Disc A type (Caulfield 1969, 64 and 69), is now in the Museum in Cork. Children were still being buried here in the 19th century (OSNB Kildrum, 31). The site is located in the low-lying, level plain that lies N of Dingle Harbour. The enclosure measures 41m N-S x 28m E-W internally and is defined by a stone-faced earthen bank which reaches a maximum height of .9m at WSW. The interior is raised slightly above the external ground level and along the SE sector the enclosure is defined only by the stone-faced edge of this platform. The bank along the W half of the site is curiously irregular in comparison with the regular curve of the remainder of the outline and it may be a later field boundary. It does not differ significantly from the adjacent field fences and there is no obvious break between it and the fence that continues from it to N. It is not clear where the original entrance lay. The interior is divided NNE-SSW internally by a low bank, no more than .3m high. At its SW end, this bank merges with an irregular stone and earth mound of uncertain origin. A short distance to NE of this there is a 1.2m wide entrance gap through the dividing bank. Hut site (KE043-144004-): The foundations of a rectangular hut lie in the N corner of the E part of the enclosure, the enclosure bank and internal dividing bank forming its W and N walls. It measures c. 5.2m E-W x 4.15m N-S internally. The walls are largely reduced to low banks but the inner face is preserved to a height of .42m at the NW and SW corners. Oratory (KE043-144003-): In the SE sector of the enclosure are the remains of a dry stone oratory 3.75m ESE-WNW x 3.15m NNE-SSW internally. The S, E and W walls are only partially preserved, but the corbel-built N wall stands to a height of 1.38m and is 1.8m thick. The doorway in the W wall, .7m wide, now lacks its head; a large flag lying in the interior may originally have been a door lintel. Cross-slab (KE043-144005-): This is set loosely into the W side of a mound of quartz which merges with the collapse from the NE corner of the oratory. An arc of stone collapse, of uncertain origin, extends W from the N end of this mound. The cross-slab is a slender pillar standing 1.5m high and measuring .25 to .09m in width and its decorated S face is peculiarly spatulate in shape. The NE angle of the stone forms the stem-line for an ogham inscription that reads: EQODD According to Macalister (1945, 179-80), the name ended with an I but there is now no trace of the relevant scores. The upper part of the S face is occupied by an equal-armed cross with expanded terminals which is enclosed within a circle. This is surmounted by a scrolled crest, joined to the top of the circle by a short stem. Beneath the cross, but not pendant from it, is an elaborate design which ends in a pelta motif. Directly below the circle, a wide curved band runs across the width of the face and a circular boss has been left in relief at each end of this. Pendant from each end are a curved line which runs to meet the edge of the stone and a 2nd line which develops into the pelta design. Another line, pendant from the centre of the band, extends for a short distance between the latter. Below the ornament is an inscription in half-uncial script which reads: (F)INTEN To left of this, Macalister (1937, 221-7) deciphered the word SCI, preceded by a Chi-Rho. However, though there are vague traces of possible letters in this area, they do not form any recognisable pattern. Bullaun Stone: Lying loose beside the cross-slab, this stone measures .74m x .56m x .21m in depth. It is roughly rectangular in plan and basin-shaped in section and the oval depression in its upper surface measures .42m x .29m x .15m in depth. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 849.

• KE043-144005 Ogham stone
  Description

  At Kilfountan Church and Calluragh burial ground/Teampall Fionntain. The ogham stone, which is also a cross-slab, is set loosely into the W side of a mound of quartz which merges with the collapse from the NE corner of the oratory. It is a slender pillar standing 1.5m high and measuring 0.25 to 0.09m in width and its decorated S face is peculiarly spatulate in shape. The NE angle of the stone forms the stem-line for an ogham inscription that reads: EQODD. According to Macalister (1945, 179-80, no. 186), the name ended with an I but there is now no trace of the relevant scores. The upper part of the S face is occupied by an equal-armed cross with expanded terminals which is enclosed within a circle. This is surmounted by a scrolled crest, joined to the top of the circle by a short stem. Beneath the cross, but not pendant from it, is an elaborate design which ends in a pelta motif. Directly below the circle, a wide curved band runs across the width of the face and a circular boss has been left in relief at each end of this.

• KE043-145 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 24.4m N-S, 25.5m E-W A circular univallate rath situated on a very slight, S facing slope on the generally level plain that lies between Dingle Harbour to the S and Lateevemore and Knockavrogeen to the N. Kilfountan early church site (KE043-144002-) lies c. 210m to NNW. The slightly raised interior contains the remains of 3, probably conjoined, hut-sites and an inaccessible souterrain. The earthen enclosing bank is a maximum of 1.4m high externally and 1m high internally. It is best preserved around the W half of the site where it is still in use as a field boundary. Some stones are visible along the outer face of the bank, but there is no definite evidence that the bank was revetted with drystone masonry. There are gaps through the bank at 3 points around the perimeter. That at NNE is probably an animal track, but either of the gaps at SSE and W may represent the original entrance. The former is 1.8m wide; the latter has been considerably disturbed and is now blocked by a stone wall. The 3 hut-sites (KE043-145001-, KE043-145003- & KE043-145004-) lie in a NE-SW line across the centre of the interior. They appear to be conjoined and were probably circular in plan, but the walls are now reduced to low banks of earth and stone, no more than .3m high. Two parallel rows of stones on edge, on the E side of the middle hut, may mark the site of an entrance. The origin of the low mound in the SE sector of the interior is not known. A prostrate slab in the SW hut is probably a roofing slab of the souterrain (KE043-145002-) which is now inaccessible. Three small holes in the ground, marked X on the accompanying plan, open into the souterrain, but provide only a very limited view. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE043-146 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 40m A univallate rath situated on the level floor of the broad valley that extends N from Dingle Harbour. The sub-circular interior is enclosed by an earthen bank, now much modified, and a fosse which is traceable only along the N sector and for a short distance at SW. The fosse is no more than .15m deep and is c. 1.2 to 1.6m wide. The bank is 1.47 to 3m high externally, 1 to 1.6m high internally and 1.52 to 2.8m wide at base. For most of its circumference it is revetted internally and externally with drystone masonry of very varied construction. The outline of the bank is irregular in parts and it is clear that it has been modified and perhaps completely replaced at some points. The site lies at the junction of 3 fields and the revetment walling may relate to its use as a field boundary. One of the 3 gaps through the bank may mark the original entrance but this is not certain. A large, irregularly-shaped mound in the interior may simply be field clearance debris.
