• KE035-055 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Lios na mBó Bhán: A univallate rath situated immediately below the crest of the low ridge which separates the valleys of the Owenmore and Scorid rivers. It commands an excellent view W over the former. The entire monument is densely overgrown and the interior is for the most part impenetrable. The inner bank is well-preserved, but the fosse and outer bank are visible for a little less than half the circumference to SW. The outer bank is a maximum of .45m high externally and .9m high above the base of the fosse; it is 2.2m wide. The fosse is 2.75m wide and rises 1.75m to the crest of the inner bank. This latter is up to 4.7m wide and 1.55m high internally. The inner face is revetted with drystone masonry. A field wall runs along the top of the SW half of the bank and loose stones are scattered along the crest and flanks of the remainder, perhaps suggesting that the field wall was formerly continuous. There is no clear evidence for an entrance, but this may be concealed by the vegetation or by one of the field walls which radiate out from the site. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 499.

• KE035-056 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 22.3m N-S, 20.7m E-W A sub-circular enclosure, with 2 internal hut-sites, situated on a gentle W facing slope overlooking the Owenmore valley. The E half of the site is enclosed by an earthen bank with intermittent traces of drystone revetment walling. The W half is enclosed by a drystone wall which may be a later replacement. However, a hut-site in the interior is built against this wall suggesting that at least portion of it is original. A generous growth of briars and thorn trees prohibits a detailed examination. The earthen bank averages 1.2m in height and 1.75m in width at base. The wall averages c. 1m in height and c. 1m in width at base. There is a 1.7m wide entrance gap at NE. A 1.5m wide gap at ESE is probably secondary as a single course of the revetment walling continues across it. (1) A circular stone hut, c. 3.95m in internal diameter, is built against the bank at E. The wall survives to a maximum height of 1.2m where it abuts the bank but the opposite side is now merely a low, grass-grown mound of collapse; it appears to be slightly corbelled. A raised area between this hut and the enclosing bank to S is defined on its W side by a low grass-grown stony bank and may be the very collapsed remains of another hut. (2) A circular drystone-built hut also abuts the enclosure wall at W. Only the inner face which is incorporated into the enclosure wall survives; the remainder of the outline is defined by a very slight bank. The hut is 3.5m in internal diameter and the wall is a maximum of 1.7m high; the upper courses are slightly corbelled. The exterior of the enclosure wall bulges outwards at this point; this may represent portion of the original enclosing element which was later replaced by the present stone wall, but the immediate area is obscured by collapse and this interpretation is not certain. A recess in the wall of the hut extends back under this bulge but is also confused by collapse. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 498. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
