• KE043-056 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 30m Lisgarve/An Lios Garbh: A bivallate rath situated on the E slopes of Knockavrogeen, with an excellent view along the valley of the Milltown river and across Dingle Harbour to the Iveragh Peninsula. The circular interior is enclosed by 2 earthen banks separated by a fosse, the outer bank being preserved only around the S half of the site. The outer bank rises 1 to 1.5m above the external ground level, .25 to 1.5m above the fosse and is 2.8 to 5.5m wide at base. The fosse is c. 3.5m wide. The inner bank rises up to 1.5m above the interior and 2.5m above the fosse; it is c. 4m wide at base. Access to the interior is provided by gaps in the inner and outer banks at E and by a corresponding causeway across the fosse. The gaps are 2.1m and 3.3m wide respectively. A number of other small breaks in the banks appear to have been caused by animals. The interior has been much disturbed by the roots of trees and by the dumping of field clearance debris. A number of low mounds in the N sector suggest the former presence of structures of some kind, but the remains are too ruined to allow definite classification. Some very short stretches of drystone masonry, on the inner face of the bank here, may be the remains of the walls of these structures. One section, which forms part of a roughly circular structure abutting the bank at N, is .7m high and slightly corbelled. Some of these mounds may be related to the souterrain which is reputedly contained within the fort. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 487. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE043-057 Standing stone - pair
  Description

  A large prostrate slab lies 1.6m E of the 'Gallaun' marked on the OS maps. They are located on the E slopes of Knockavrogeen, c. 475m S of a similar pair of stones (KE043-058----), overlooking the valley of the Milltown river. The standing stone is 2.7m high and measures .84m x .7m at base; ENE-WSW. The prostrate slab, which probably once stood upright, measures 4.5m x 2m x at least .5 to .6m in thickness.

• KE043-134 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 31m NW-SE, 36m SW-NE Lismore/An Lios Mór: This circular bivallate rath commands an excellent view in all directions from the S slopes of Knockavrogeen. Two souterrains and a hut-site were formerly visible in the interior but are no longer traceable. There is a very slight suggestion of a 3rd bank along the N sector but it may be either natural or the remains of the field boundary which formerly ran concentric with the ringfort banks around the NW half of the site (2nd edition of OS map). The outer fosse is up to 1.8m deep below the external ground level and is 3m wide at base, but only the N section is well preserved; elsewhere it has been completely or almost completely filled in. The outer bank rises c. 2.1m above the outer fosse, c. 2m above the inner fosse and is 6 to 7m wide at base. There are intermittent traces of drystone facing along its outer face but these are probably secondary. Its SW half forms part of the boundary between the townlands of Knockavrogeen East and West. The inner fosse is c. 3 to 5.2m wide at base. The inner bank rises 2 to 2.6m above the bottom of the fosse and c. 1 to 2m above the interior; it is c. 6m wide at base. The entrance at NE is a secondary feature. The original entrance faces SE and consists of a c. 1.8m wide gap through the inner bank and a c. 2.1m wide gap through the outer bank. The former is considerably disturbed and the latter is now blocked by a modern wall. The 2 souterrains recorded by Windele (1848, 421) are not now visible. One was apparently earth-cut, the other stone-built, and there were 2 entrances, one in the fosse and the other in the interior of the ringfort. One of the structures reputedly contained 'a stone with round letters on it'. Windele also noted a hut-site in the centre of the site. The interior is now occupied by stony mounds and hollows which form no recognisable pattern and which were too indistinct to mark on the accompanying plan. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 486.

• KE043-135 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Lisbeg/An Lios Beag: This circular rath was levelled c. 1964. On the 2nd edition on the OS map it is enclosed by 1 complete bank with a 2nd bank, or possibly a fosse, around the N half only. Curran (no.83) noted 2 banks and a well-preserved fosse, but on an aerial photograph taken in 1949 (Ministry of Defence, V. 158/135), the site appears as a univallate enclosure, with the line of part of the 2nd bank being represented only by a curve in the adjacent field wall. According to Curran the enclosure was c. 30m in diameter. Though a souterrain has been noted at the site (local information; OSNB Kildrum, 30), no such structure was revealed when the site was levelled. Curran also noted a well with a never-failing spring of water. He described this as well-built and roofed 'but so low that access was obtained only by crawling on hands and knees'. Perhaps the souterrain (KE043-135001-) and the well were one and the same structure. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

• KE043-138 Field boundary
  Description

  A possible pre-bog field wall, represented by 4 upright slabs forming a roughly N-S line c. 50m long. The stones were .66m, 1.41m and 1.22m in height, and the 4th protruded only slightly above the surface of the bog. The field in which they were located was reclaimed in 1985, and the wall destroyed; prior to that the field was wet and marshy and covered with an undetermined depth of peat.
