• KE035-062 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 26.5m Lios an Bhunaigh: A univallate rath situated on the lower NW slopes of a N spur of the central mountain range. The site overlooks the Owenmore valley to N and W and the valleys of the Scorid and Glennahoo rivers to E. The single bank, of earth and stone, is a maximum of 1.31m high externally and .7m high internally and averages 2.4m in width at base. The .6m wide gap at WSW may result from animal traffic. The bank in the NW quadrant has been removed, but the outline of the enclosure is preserved as a low scarp, the interior being raised slightly above the external ground level. The spoil from this section of the bank forms a large mound at the E end of the surviving section. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE035-073011 Mound
  Description

  (k) Mound: Located close to the W bank of the river, directly opposite the fulacht fiadh (i), this irregularly-shaped mound measures c. 8m in diameter x a maximum of 1.15m in height. It appears to be composed of earth and is revetted on its E side by a few boulders. It may be a partly natural feature. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE035-073012 Hut site
  Description

  (l) Hut: A D-shaped hut foundation located at the S side of an oval enclosure measuring 11m x 6.7m. The wall of the latter survives for the most part only as a series of low orthostats and isolated boulders; there is a possible entrance gap at ENE. The hut measures 2.85m NE-SW x 2.4m SE-NW internally, and the entrance was probably located in the straight N wall. The remainder of the drystone-built wall stands to a maximum height of .5m and is c. 1m thick. The wall that extends ESE from near the hut terminates at a small hollow, 2m x 3m internally and apparently stone-lined, which may mark the site of another hut. The peat in the vicinity of these sites is only .1 to .2m deep, and it is not clear whether it was always this thin or whether it has been cut away. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 25.

• KE035-073013 Sheepfold
  Description

  (m) Possible sheep-shelter: This small horseshoe-shaped hut foundation, open to E, is incorporated into the W wall of a large disused field on the lowlying level ground on the W side of the river. It measures 1.8m x 1.7m internally and the roughly-constructed drystone walls stand to a maximum height of 1m and are c. 1m wide. This structure appears to be a sheep-shelter of relatively recent origin, but its incorporation into one of the field walls does not necessarily imply a late date for this latter. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 25.

• KE035-073014 Hut site
  Description

  (n) Huts: These 2 structures are located c. 6m apart and are incorporated into the walls of a field on a shoulder of the hillslope on the W side of the valley. The N structure is rectangular in outline and measures 4.4m x 3m internally. The drystone-built walls are c. 1m thick and stand to a maximum height of .45m but are largely collapsed. The interior is divided into 2 parts by a N-S cross-wall. This structure resembles a 2-roomed house and may be a late feature. The 2nd structure is roughly D-shaped in outline and measures 2.2m x 1.7m internally. Only 2 courses of the rough drystone wall survive. This may be a hut of relatively recent origin.

• KE035-073015 Hut site
  Description

  (o) Huts: A pair of circular conjoined hut foundations now incorporated into the N side of a later, roughly-built, sub-rectangular enclosure. The E hut measures c. 3.25m in diameter internally and its corbelled drystone wall is 1.8 to 1.9m thick and up to 1.2m high. The entrance in the S sector is obscured by collapse. The W hut measures c. 4m in diameter internally, its drystone wall standing to a maximum height of 1m. The entrance was probably located in the ESE sector. A small oval sheep-shelter has been built in the interior, utilising the inner face of the W wall of the clochaun as part of its structure. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 25.

• KE035-073016 Hut site
  Description

  (p) Possible hut: The collapsed foundations of a possible circular hut measuring c. 4.6m in diameter internally. It is defined by a band of stone collapse, 1.1m wide and up to .5m high, which is partly obscured by overlying peat. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE035-073017 Structure
  Description

  (q) A rectangular arrangement of upright slabs measuring 1.9 x .85m internally and open to NE. Each side is formed by a single slab .5 to .75m high, and it is possible that the NE side was formerly defined by the pre-bog field wall into which the feature is incorporated.

• KE035-073018 Megalithic structure
  Description

  (r) This structure abuts the S side of a pre-bog field wall which extends ENE-WSW along the summit of the low ridge defining the W side of the valley. The peat has been completely removed over a large area here and both the wall and structure can be seen to have been constructed on the underlying ground surface. The structure is now for the most part collapsed, but appears to have consisted of a low narrow chamber, at least 1.75m long x c. 0.55m wide, which is defined along its NW side by the collapsed field wall, and along its SE side by 2 upright slabs which decrease in height from .75m at the open SW end to c. 0.42m at the collapsed NE end. The large flat slab now lying partly on the field wall and partly on the chamber is probably a displaced capstone. The original function of this feature is not clear.

• KE035-073019 Enclosure
  Description

  (s) Enclosure: Only the outer face of this circular stone enclosure, 14.5m in external diameter, has been exposed by turf-cutting. The peat in the interior remains to a depth of .75m, but probing with bamboo rods indicates a wall thickness of 2.4m, though some of this may represent collapse. Probing also indicates that no wall exists in the ENE sector and it is presumably here that the entrance is located. The outer wall face stands to a maximum height of .8m and is constructed of large boulders in contrast to the smaller stones visible in the adjacent field walls. The precise relationship between the enclosure and the pre-peat ground surface is masked by a .2m depth of peat which remains uncut, and the relationship between it and the 3 radiating pre-bog field walls is obscured by collapse. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 25. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013

• KE035-073020 Enclosure
  Description

  (t) Enclosure: An oval stone enclosure measuring 10.8m NE-SW x 12.6m NW-SE internally. The interior is filled by a .8m depth of peat and the wall is for the most part represented by a low peat-covered bank with a few stones protruding here and there along the top and sides. However, both the drystone-built outer face and rubble core of the wall have been revealed at 2 or 3 points where the turf has been cut away right up to the enclosure, leaving only a .15m depth of peat covering the old ground surface. The wall survives to a maximum height of .95m and probing indicates a wall thickness of c. 2.75m. The 1.8m wide entrance gap at ESE appears to be slightly out-turned but this impression may be due to collapse or irregular peat cutting. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 25. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013

• KE035-073021 Hut site
  Description

  (u) Hut: Located on a gentle N facing slope only a few metres S of the modern field system, this circular hut foundation measures 4.5m in diameter internally and there is a 1.7m wide entrance gap at N. Internally the wall face is constructed of low uprights up to .6m high, with drystone walling filling some of the interstices. The outer face is partly obscured by collapse and uncut peat but is constructed for the most part of horizontally-laid slabs interspersed with a few upright slabs; the wall is 1.1m thick. The peat cover in this area is only .25 to .3m deep and in the interior of the hut is only .1 to .15m deep. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 25. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE035-073022 Enclosure
  Description

  (v) Possible enclosure: An arc of walling, c. 1.7 to 2m wide, has been revealed here by turf-cutting, both ends disappearing into banks of uncut peat c. 1m deep. This wall may define the NW quadrant of a circular enclosure c. 10m in diameter. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

• KE035-073023 Cairn - clearance cairn
  Description

  (w) Clearance cairns: These 5 heaps of small stones, 3m x 2m x .35 to .5m high on average, are overlain by up to .3m of peat and may be field clearance cairns related to the pre-bog field system. One of the cairns has been heaped against a large boulder, a common practice even today. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

• KE035-073024 Rock art
  Description

  This large boulder, 1.78m x 1m x .25m thick, has been decorated at either side of its smooth upper surface with a cup-and-3 circles. Beside the E design is a small cup-and-circle with a possible outer circle. The long, linear groove extending NW from the E cup-and-3 circles also appears to be artificial. The stone straddles the low remains of a disused field wall and, if in its original position, suggests an Early Bronze Age or earlier date for the field system. However, it may well have been removed from elsewhere for reuse in the wall. To see a 3D model of this monument, visit; https://skfb.ly/oyoWI The above description is derived from J.

Good views of Brandon Mountain range and Brandon Bay NW-> N->NE and overlooked by higher ground of Slievanea mountain to SW. A smooth and fractured sandstone (dims. 1.80m E-W; 0.98m N-S; max. H 0.26m at N) with a generally flat, subrectangular decorated surface (dims. 1.80m E-W; 0.88m N-S). The motifs are very faint and consist of a large cup-and-three-ring motif (overall diam. 30cm; ring Wth 1cm; D 2mm; cup diam. 7cm; D 10mm) at the E end of the decorated surface; The space between the rings increases from the centre to the outer ring. A linear groove (L 33cm; Wth 1-2cm; D 1-2mm) extends from the cup-and-three-ring motif, at NW. A partial cup-and-four-ring motif (overall diam. 30cm; ring Wth 1-1.5cm; D 1-2mm; cup diam. 4cm; D 6mm) at W end of decorated surface is faint; A possible semi-circular ring is further to E. A half cup-and-ring motif (overall dims. 9cm N-S; 7cm E-W; cup dims. 3cm N-S; 3.5cm N-S; D 5mm) is upon E edge of stone. This rock art example forms part of the remains of a drystone field boundary (long-axis c. N-S). Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 7 July 2017

• KE035-073034 Fulacht fia
  Description

  (i) Fulacht Fiadh: Located on the E bank of the river, this horseshoe-shaped mound has been cut away along its WNW side by the river and there is a drop here of c. 2m to the level of the water. A holly tree has also caused some disturbance at the W end of the mound which measures 11m NE-SW x c. 7.3m NW-SE x 1.25m in maximum height. It is composed of a combination of black soil and fragments of burnt stone. The depression at the NE side measures 2.4m x 2.4m, and a large flag partly exposed at its E side may have formed part of a revetment, as may the earthfast boulders a short distance to NE. The wall running N from the mound marks the boundary between the townlands of Ballyhoneen and Kilmore; elsewhere this boundary follows the centre of the river.
