Two stones were found in close proximity to one another on the SE slopes of Knocknakilton, overlooking the Emlagh river valley. The smaller stone (KE045-032----) has been removed from the field fence into which it was incorporated and is now in the possession of Oidhreacht Chorea Dhuibhne [KE042-172----]. This measures 1.2m x .8m x .07m to .15m thick. The markings are dominated by a large cup-and-3 circles with a radial line running from the central cup through a gap in the inner circle and across the outer circles. A diametrically opposed radial line is formed by a natural fissure. A possible cup-mark, badly eroded, lies between the 2 outer circles. The remainder of the motifs comprise at least 6 cup-marks, one now partially broken away, and a cup-and-circle which, though gapped, may once have been complete as the surface of the stone is spalled where the gap occurs. The larger slab (KE045-032001-) lies against the SE side of a field fence and measures 2.25m x .5m to .95m x c. 0.3m thick. The surface is very weathered and some of the cupmark-like depressions may be natural. However, there appear to be at least 10 definite cup-marks and 2 cup-and-circles. One of the cup-and-circles has a radial line and an elongated spall has broken away from the edge of the other removing a cup-mark noted there by Finlay (1973, 29-30).

Date of upload: 29 May 2013 In improved pasture (149m OD), on an ESE-facing slope, abutting a farm trackway (long-axis NE-SW) to SE. Overlooking valley of Emlagh River SE->S and excellent view through distinct gap in hills at S, toward Inch strand and the Iveragh Peninsula. A smooth and unfractured upright stone (dims. H 1.80m; Wth 0.86m; T 0.27m) set up against SE side of earthen and hedgerow field boundary. It has a rectangular decorated surface (dims. H 1.25m; Wth 0.75m ) with a SE-facing aspect and bearing a dozen very weathered; Lots of mosses at base and across upper one third of decorated surface. The decorated surface is as depicted by Cuppage (1986, Fig 42 (b), 64) and consists of a cup-and-ring motif (overall diam. 16cm; ring Wth 2-2.5cm; D 4mm; cup diam. 7.5cm; D 12mm) near base of stone (i.e. toward ground level). This motif has a radial groove extending from cupmark; A second cup-and-ring motif is adjacent. Ten cupmarks (diam. 5-12cm; D 6-12mm) are located across the decorated surface, two of which are relatively large. A second example of rock art (KE045-032----) previously recorded at this location, has been moved to Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (KE045-172----).

Internal diam. 20m This circular univallate rath is located on the SE slopes of Flemingstown mountain, overlooking the valley of the Emlagh river. It is bisected SE-NW by a field fence and the NE portion contains a small plantation of coniferous trees. The earthen enclosing bank survives to a maximum height of .85m internally and 1.4m externally. It is not clear where the original entrance lay. Four breaks occur in the bank where the field wall enters and exits the site and these are probably modern. Either of the gaps at NNE and SSW may mark the original entrance. These are .9m and .6m wide respectively. There is no trace of the souterrain marked in the centre of the enclosure on the 1st edition of the OS map. The above description is derived from J.

The small enclosure marked on the OS maps and named 'Fort' on the OS Fair Plan was levelled about 1980. It consisted of a low mound surrounded by a fosse and low external bank (information: T. Creedon), and its outline is still discernible as a cropmark. This latter indicates a diameter of about 12.5m from the outer edges of the fosse and an internal diameter of c. 7.7m. The land in the immediate vicinity is fairly level but falls away E and S towards the Emlagh river. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

Internal diam. 41.7m Lisrananoge/Lios Ráth na nÓg: This circular univallate rath is located on a fairly steep SE facing slope overlooking the valley of the Emlagh river. It is enclosed by an earthen bank and fosse, the latter being c. 5m wide and .5m deep. The bank averages 3.3m in height externally and is up to 2m high internally. Its inner face is revetted with drystone masonry which stands to a maximum height of 1.6m. A short section of this facing at WSW appears to be stepped. The 4m wide gap at SE is probably the original entrance and the gaps at N and W are probably secondary features. The N part of the interior appears to be slightly raised. Three depressions of unknown origin and a circular hut-site are located on this platform. The hut measures 4.3m N-S x 5m E-W internally and the wall is reduced to a bank of earth and stone, 1.5m wide and up to .85m high. The entrance faces NE and consists of a 1.2m wide break in the bank.

This site was located in rough boggy pastureland on the S slopes of the central mountain ridge overlooking the valley of the Emlagh river. On the 1st edition of the OS map it is shown as an irregularly-shaped field. On the 2nd edition it appears as a semi-circular univallate enclosure, open to SE. A fosse was shown around the E half of the site. The field was recently ploughed and the outline of the bank appears to be indicated by a band of soil with a significantly higher stone content than in the interior or in the surrounding field.

A low upright stone stood on a very slight circular mound here, on the S slopes of the central mountain ridge overlooking the Emlagh river valley. It was located about 450m N of KE045-040----. It was .51m high and measured .82m x .16m at base. In 1983 the field was ploughed and the stone removed. This revealed a 2 to 3m wide band of dark soil encircling the mound which was 3 to 4m in diameter. This band was clearly distinguished from the lighter coloured soil of the mound and the surrounding field and may indicate the former presence of a fosse. The above description is derived from J.

A boulder, measuring .87m x .9m x .1 to .15m thick, lies immediately W of a field fence which forms the E boundary of a farmyard.

This site is known locally as a children's burial ground and formerly contained numerous little mounds (local information). It straddled the main Anascaul to Tralee road and the S part is now occupied by a tree plantation and the N part has been destroyed by a mechanical excavator. No bones or graves were revealed by the latter. According to Ashe (1954, 27) the site was named Ráth na nÓg. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.
