• KE081-013 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 25m N-S, 30m E-W Lissowroe/Lios Abhann Rua: The first edition of the OS map depicts a subcircular bivallate enclosure on the W bank of the Owroe river, which forms part of its defences at E. The site is more consistent today with what is depicted on the second edition of the map - a univallate enclosure bounded at E by a field boundary with the river some 30m to E. The overgrown earthen bank is 1.3m high externally and measures .95m high internally. It has a basal width of 4.8m. A portion of the level interior of the rath is occupied by a large overgrown stony mound, measuring 13m in overall diameter. Though no facing is visible, it may represent the collapsed remnants of a large hut (KE081-013001-). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 528. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
