Recorded monuments

• KE035-057 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 21m A circular univallate rath situated near the crest (212 feet/65m) of the low, generally level ridge which separates the lower reaches of the Owenmore and Scorid rivers. It is densely overgrown and the E half is impenetrable. The bank of earth and stones is a maximum of 1.4m high externally and 1m high internally and is 2.3m wide at base. The townland boundary wall bisects the site N-S. Two breaks in the bank at either end of the wall are probably contemporary with the construction of the latter. The original entrance may remain concealed by the dense vegetation along the E half of the enclosing bank. Curran (no.13) recorded an 'underground chamber' here. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 476.

• KE035-058 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  There is now no visible trace of the circular enclosure marked on the OS maps. It was sited in a fairly level pasture field about 100m N of KE035-059---- and 250m NW of KE035-060----. Curran (no.12) described the site as a lios, 100 feet (c. 30.5m) in diameter, with traces of 2 clochauns in the interior. He was informed that a rude quern stone had been found within. Local information suggests that there was a souterrain at the site. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

• KE035-059 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 18m This poorly-preserved univallate rath contains traces of 2 huts. It is sited on level ground, with an open outlook in all directions, and the surrounding field is in the process of being reclaimed. The earthen enclosing bank is no longer traceable along the W sector. Clearance debris has been piled up against the field wall which ran immediately outside the line of the bank here (2nd edition OS map). The best preserved portion of the bank, at E, is faced internally with drystone masonry which survives to a maximum height of .9m. A short stretch of facing occurs on the outer face and loose stones strewn elsewhere on the outer face suggest that this was formerly more extensive. The stone-faced entrance gap at E is 1.4m wide. The remains of a circular stone hut lie a little S of centre. It is 4m in diameter internally and the drystone-built wall stands only 2 courses high. The outline of the NE half of the structure is no longer discernible. A short stretch of the outer face was visible until recently and this indicated a wall width of 2.15m. A short arc of the wall of a 2nd hut lies immediately inside the enclosing bank at NNE. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 475. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013

• KE035-060 Enclosure
  Description

  During reclamation of the surrounding field in 1982, the circular enclosure marked on the OS maps was removed. The depiction on the 2nd edition of the OS map indicates that the W half of the enclosing bank or wall had been replaced by a field wall. This curving wall, which probably preserved the line of the earlier one, is all that remains to mark the former presence of the site. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 711.
