• KE017-003 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 36m N-S, 39.8m E-W Lisroe/Lios Rua (russet ringfort) is situated on the side of a NE-SW sloping hill, with excellent views in all directions. This sub-circular univallate rath is enclosed by a well-defined bank, which is on average 5m wide at the base and rises to a maximum of 1.9m above the fosse and 1.6m above the interior. The exterior fosse encloses the whole site, except to the N to NE where a field drain and fieldbank run through it. Elsewhere the U-shaped fosse is well defined, .6m-3.2m wide and .6m-1.8m deep. The interior is gently sloping NE. In the central area is a prostrate stone, and on the exterior side to the E is a well. Access is gained to the interior of the rath by three gaps, to the N, SW and W, measuring 3.6m, 2.2m, and 3.6m wide respectively. It is difficult to ascertain which is the original entrance. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 658. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013

• KE017-030 Standing stone
  Description

  Located in a small field or paddock in front of a series of buildings, including a dwelling house and sheds, on the S side of a large rounded hill. The dominant aspect id to the S, but there are good views also to the E and W. This is an impressive standing stone, known locally as ‘Carriglea’. It is triangular in shape, measuring 1.5m in height, 1.6m in maximum width and 0.5m thick, and aligned E-W on its long axis. The type of stone is uncertain, but it appears to be a form of granite. It was formerly incorporated into a small field boundary. This must be in the recent past, as there is no settlement indicated here on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition map, or on the subsequent 25 inch map. The stone is marked as ‘Carriglea’ on both these maps. Compiled by: Frank Coyne Date of upload: 06 September 2013
