Recorded monuments

• KE054-033001 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  Cnoc na Fola is a low, sub-rectangular cairn located on the low ridge overlooking Minard to S. The level field in which it occurs is named Páirc na Fola and was traditionally the scene of a bloody battle in ancient times. The cairn reputedly marks the graves of those slain. It measures 7.4 x 8.2m and is .6m high. The cairn material is a mixture of earth and stones many of which are quartz. Four low standing stones occur along the perimeter and 3 further prostrate slabs may formerly have stood upright. Two of the standing stones bear ogham inscriptions. (1) A rounded boulder, measuring .8m high and 1.3m in circumference, bears the inscription: GOSSUCTTIAS (2) The standing stone immediately S of the latter is .8m high, .45m wide and .24m thick. The inscription reads: GAMICUNAS An outlying standing stone occurs 38m to ENE. It is .65m high, .9m wide and .8m thick. Windele (1838, 155) was informed that a cave containing bones had been found nearby and that graves and bones were frequently revealed during ploughing. The cave may have been a souterrain but, in the context of the site, is more likely to have been a grave. An Seabhac (1939, 173) mentions that 3 of the standing stones mark the heads of large graves about 15 feet long (4.6m). No traces of these features survive on the surface today. (See KE054-034----) The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 807.
