Description
This potential feature was reported by Michael Connolly, County Archaeologist, Kerry County Council. It was identified by him during the course of an assessment of a 40 square mile area for the purpose of choosing a road route in 2000 to the north of Killarney. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as the low remains of a mound. Accessed not gained due to cross bull in this area of heath. In rough pasture area of heath, on a gentle E-facing slope. Land also tilts down gently to S.
- KE058-009 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 40m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.25m) NW-SSE and by a scarp (H 2.2m) SSE-NW. There is a possible external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.15m), with a small stream flowing along its base, W-N. The level interior is covered with overgrowth. There are cattle breaks in the bank along the N arc. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE058-010 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on a SW-facing slope. This rath is indicated on the 1894 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). It is levelled and a slightly concave depression (diam. c. 24m) is visible in the area of site. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE058-011 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on a SW-facing slope. A circular area (c. 20m N-S) defined by a low bank (Wth 7.8m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.65m) NNE-N, with a break N-NNE. The bank is comprised mainly of earth with some shale which is exposed at N. A slight trace of an external fosse is evident along the N arc. A dump of shale was noted in the interior. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE058-012 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, to the SE of a farmyard, on a SW-facing slope. This rath is not visible at ground level. According to the landowner, prior to being levelled it had two enclosing banks and was partially levelled in the 1970s and the remainder was levelled in the mid-1990s. It is indicated on the 1894 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) which is surrounded externally by a field boundary. Excavation in 1995 of a small portion of the NE section of the rath that appeared to have been undisturbed, revealed nothing of archaeological significance (Bennett 1996, 42).

- KE058-013 Ringfort - rath
Description
In fairly level pasture, to the SW of a road. This rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a trivallate circular enclosure (max. diam. c. 60m). It is indicated on the 1894 OS 6-inch map as a roughly oval, trivallate enclosure. The present remains consist of a circular area (38m N-S) defined by a bank (Wth 7.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.5m). The interior is concave. There is a possible entrance at NW where a break in the bank occurs. According to local information, the remainder of the rath was levelled in the 1970s. It was described in the 1840s as a 'very large' rath towards the centre of Leamnaguila (OSNB, Kilcredane, 19). In the 1940s 'three earthen rings about a fort in Mrs. Lenihan's farm in Leamnaguilea' were noted (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). A possible souterrain (KE058-013001-) is associated with this rath. A second rath (KE058-014----) lies c. 180m to the E. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE058-013001 Souterrain
Description
In a rath (KE058-013----). In the 1840s, 'a cavern' was recorded in a large rath, the entrance of which was 'lately shut up' (OSNB, Kilcredane, 19). There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE058-014 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, at the edge of a ridge, on a SW-facing slope. A circular area (26m E-W) defined by traces of a low bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.05m) E-SE and WNW-NW and by a scarp SE-WNW. A linear NW-SE road truncates the rath NW-E. This rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) which abuts a NW-SE road at NE. On the 1894 OS 6-inch map it is truncated at NE by the road. This is probably the rath recorded in the 1840s as deriving its name from 'an old condemned road' which was within 'two chains of it on the E side' (OSNB, Kilcredane, 19). A second rath (KE058-013----) lies c. 180m to the W. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE058-115 Standing stone
Description
In rough pasture, at the edge of a bog, on the break of a S-facing slope. The stone (dims. 2m x 0.9m; H c. 3m) is triangular in shape and irregular in plan and orientated NE-SW. It is of sandstone and tapers to a point at the top. This is the 'great Gallan' in Mangan bog that was referred to in the 1940s (MKFC, vol. 2, 700).

- KE058-511 Standing stone
Description
In rough pasture, on level area of a S-facing slope, within small triangular field; Heath and bog to N. Good views in all directions, particularly E->S->W->NW. Substantial upright stone (H 3.2m; Wth 2.15m; T 0.75m) of green sandstone; long-axis E-W. The W-end is aligned in the direction of Aghadoe and The Lakes of Killarney with a backdrop of Purple, Shehy and Tomies Mountains and The Gap of Dunloe. Stone is sub-rectangular in plan and triangular in elevation to N and S, tapering to a distinct point. Ground around base of stone has been reduced c. 0.65m. Some ground still in-situ with packing stones on S-side, W-side and a short return to N-side. Base is broken at W; fractured stone protrudes loosely from ground adjacent break. Corner of stone chipped above base at S-end. A variety of mature lichens and occasional crusteose and moss on all elevations. Small pit marks in vertical lines appear to be a result of natural erosion. Farm trackway extends to NE. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 11 September 2014
