## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- KE045-072: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE045-072----. A small circular enclosure, 10m in diameter internally, located in rough wet pastureland overlooking Castlemaine Harbour. Old ruined field walls are visible in the near vicinity, and a hut foundation lies c. 50m to S (KE045-075----). The interior of the enclosure has been cut back into the hillslope and its NE half is defined only by the scarp thus created. The bank enclosing the remainder of the site is up to 1.4m high. The entrance gap faces E and there is an oval, drystone-lined recess or chamber opening onto its E side. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1546. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

Situated in rough wet pastureland on the S slopes of Mullaghmore overlooking Castlemaine Harbour, this stone stands 1.8m high and measures 2.35m x .65m at base; E-W. The sides exhibit a pronounced shoulder c. 0.5m above the ground, then taper evenly towards a point at top. In the immediate vicinity, particularly to S and SW, are the ruined remains of disused field walls; some, but not all of these are shown on the 2nd edition of the OS map. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 118.

- KE045-075: Field system, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE045-075----. In rough hill grazing on shallow bog on the lower SE-facing slopes of Knockmore with a view across Castlemain Harbour. The remains of both linear and curvilinear stretches of field walls (T 0.5m; H 0.1-0.5m) protrude above the surface of shallow bog in a roughly rectangular area (c. 190m ENE-WSW; c. 130m NNW-SSE). The remains of the walls consist mainly of intermittent, upright slabs set at right angles to the line of the wall. Hut site (KE045-075001-) is within the field walls. Field system and hut site described by Cuppage (1986, 417, no. 1391) as follows; 'In rough wet pastureland, within an old field system. A circular enclosure, possibly the remains of a hut. It survives as a drystone-lined hollow which appears to have been excavated out of the centre of a natural mound. Abutting the wall, at the W side of the interior, is a rectangular, drystone-lined pit, 1.4 x 1.5m x .5m deep. D: c. 5.2m. H: 1m'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 7 April 2022

- KE045-077001: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE045-077001-. Internal diam. c. 25m Situated on a S facing slope overlooking Castlemaine Harbour, this cashel has been seriously interfered with and modified since the early 19th century when it was shown on the 1st edition of the OS map as a circular univallate enclosure. The enclosing wall has for the most part been reduced to a band of stone collapse which ranges in width from 3.6 to 7.5m and which is up to 1.4m high. However, 2 very short sections of the outer wall-face are exposed at SSE and NNW, and a 10m long arc of what is probably the inner wall-face is exposed at NW. A modern, but now disused, sub-rectangular enclosure has been superimposed upon these remains and is the most obvious feature of the site today. A N-S laneway runs alongside the E edge of the cashel and the earlier wall has been partly removed in this sector. The modern enclosure is defined to N by an E-W wall which surmounts the debris of the cashel wall, to W by a straight N-S wall which excludes a small portion of the cashel interior from the modern enclosure, and to S by an E-W wall which was built on top of the inner edge of the ruined cashel wall. The W end of the modern wall at S exhibits a regular curve and may follow the line of the inner face of the cashel. A large quantity of stone collapse fills the interior and the outlines of about 3 circular buildings were formerly visible (local information). Much stone was removed, however, for use as building material and no features are now discernible in the interior. About 100m to SW of the cashel is what appears to be a small enclosure, now covered with impenetrable vegetation. It measures c. 17.7m E-W and 15.3m N-S overall and is defined by a stony bank at least 2.6m wide and .55m high. In the NE corner of the same field is a roughly rectangular enclosure of unknown function and date. It is defined to N and E by the laneway and to W and S by low banks of earth and stone. It measures 14m N-S and 9.1m E-W internally and the bank is 1.4m wide and .55m high. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

Situated on a S facing slope overlooking Castlemaine Harbour, cashel KE045-077001- has been seriously interfered with and modified since the early 19th century when it was shown on the 1st edition of the OS map as a circular univallate enclosure.

- KE045-078: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE045-078----. Internal diam. 19.5m N-S, 25.5m E-W This oval univallate rath is located about 75m E of a cashel (KE045-077001-), on the gentle lower slopes of Mullaghmore mountain, overlooking Castlemaine Harbour to S. The earthen enclosing bank varies in height from .4m internally and 1.5m externally on the downhill side, to .3m externally and 1.1m internally on the uphill side. The 1.75m wide gap at E is probably the original entrance; a less well-defined gap at SSW is probably secondary. During the 19th century, the enclosure was divided into 2 unequal portions by a N-S field wall and another field wall was constructed along the top of the bank in the NE sector. The drystone-built walling which revets the outer edge of the bank at S and SE, between the 2 gaps, may also be related to the incorporation of the enclosure into the modern field boundary system. Two irregular mounds of grass-covered stones abut the E side of the dividing wall; their origin is not known. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 470. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

The burial ground from which this townland derives its name lies on the W bank of the small stream which forms the townland boundary. It is an irregular oval in plan, defined along its E side by the stream and along its W side by a low, natural scarp, the external ground level being higher than that of the burial ground. It measures a maximum of c. 62m N-S x 25m E-W. The only features visible in the interior are 2 grass-grown mounds of stones, and a number of low uprights, up to .9m high, which form a roughly ziz-zag line, 4m long. It is not known what these represent. About 50m to NW of the burial ground are 4 low uprights, up to .45m high, which may be grave-markers. Digging around these revealed what appeared to be empty graves (local information). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

Páirc na Leacht' is named from 2 cairns which reputedly covered the graves of 2 English soldiers (An Seabhac 1939, 204). These are not now visible but, near the E end of the N field boundary, the landowner recently uncovered 3 or 4 upright stones standing .5 to .6m high and 1 to 2m apart. These he suggested resembled grave-markers; they have been covered over and neither their archaeological significance nor their relationship to the cairns is clear.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
