- KE097-016: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE097-016----. This stone-built souterrain, not marked on the OS maps, is located in rough pasture at the head of the Ballinskelligs river valley. It is not now accessible but a small aperture between its roofing slabs enables a portion of a drystone-built passage to be viewed. This runs NNE-SSW and is at least 2m long, c. 8m wide, and c. .5m high. 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. 892. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
- KE097-017001: Boulder-burial, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE097-017001-. This boulder-burial and standing stone are located on the lower NNE slopes of Canuig mountain, at the head of the valley of the Ballinskelligs river. They are situated in pasture, on a fairly level terrace, and command a view of Ballinskelligs Bay. The wedge tomb at Coom (KE097-021----) is visible to ESE. The boulder-burial consists of a flat slab supported on four low stones. Two of these stones, those on the upslope side, are largely obscured by hillwashed material. The other two measure .48m x .38m x .15m and .52m x .47m x .13m. A pad-stone rests on the support stone at ESE, and measures .3m x .25m x .1m. Seven solution pits occur on the smooth upper surface of the cover-stone, whose longer axis lies NNE-SSW. The stone is raised approximately .15m above internal ground level, and its maximum dimensions are 1.97m x 1.57m. It averages .4m thick (Ó Nualláin 1978, 97). 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. 379.

- KE097-017002: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE097-017002-. A tall standing stone (KE097-017002-), marked 'Gallaun' on the second edition of the OS maps, is aligned N-S and occurs 4m to N of the boulder-burial. The stone widens marginally as it rises and then tapers inwards toward the top. It stands 2.5m high and measures 1.08m x .3m at base. Lynch recorded an 'alignment' of stones adjacent to the boulder-burial at N, three of the stones protruding one foot (.3m) above the ground surface (1902b, 336). The central stone was a boulder of white quartz. Today the field is ploughed and only one prostrate stone, 1.35m long and located 1m NW of the boulder-burial, survives. It formerly stood upright (local information). 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. 379. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013

- KE097-018: Hut site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE097-018----. At the head of the Ballinskelligs river valley, on gentle SE facing pasture, one field S of a standing stone and boulder-burial (KE097-017001-). A field clearance cairn now occupies the location of this possible hut, removed sometime during the 1960s. Lynch recorded the site as a 'circle of stones', 36 feet (10.97m) in diameter. Eleven stones were set on edge and the largest of these measured 9 feet 9 inches (2.97m) x 2 feet (.61m) x 1 foot (.3m) thick. One stone was located in the interior at N (1902b, 338). 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. 1447.

At the head of the Ballinskelligs river valley, on gentle SE facing pasture and about 50m SSE of a levelled hut (KE097-018----). The site has been disturbed at NW by ploughing and at NE by the erection of a house. Recorded by Lynch as an ill-defined circle of stones containing much debris (1902b, 340), the site now survives as a pair of opposed uprights set .8m apart and averaging .4m high. A short, curved stretch of stony bank extends from both uprights and may originally have formed a circle. 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. 1346.

One field S of KE097-019----. A hut (KE097-020----) defined by a circular setting of intermittent uprights with a slight external bank. An infilled souterrain (KE097-020001-) is reputed to be located in its interior (local information). D: 4.2m. A roughly rectangular platform, 7.7m x 6.2m, immediately E of the hut, with an uneven and stony surface. This site is locally referred to as a calluragh burial ground (KE097-020001-). Lynch found a portion of a hand-quern in this sector (1902b, 339) The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.

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.
