• KE072-014 Fulacht fia
  Description

  This well-preserved fulacht fiadh is located on the floor of the Bridia valley, close to the E bank of a stream which flows to the Caragh river at N. It survives as a horseshoe-shaped mound which measures 6.6m N-S x 4.9m E-W. It is up to .65m high, and is largely composed of burnt stones. Its open end faces the stream at W and measures 2.9m N-S x 2.3m E-W. Adjacent at E is a pre-bog complex (KE072-016----) and an example of rock art (KE072-015----). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 435.

• KE072-015 Rock art
  Description

  This boulder is located in boggy land on the S side of the Caragh river, close to the head of the Bridia valley. Measuring 1.65m x .95m x .6m thick, the decoration is confined to the N end of its upper surface. There are three cup-and-rings, three cup-and-two rings, one cup-and-three rings and four simple cupmarks. A number of short grooves also occur. The surface of the stone is somewhat weathered, but the motifs are clearly decipherable. The rock art occurs within the bounds of a pre-bog field system (KE072-016----). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 355. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013 In mountain heath (130m OD), on eastern side of a low ridge, on a N-facing slope; Good views toward Bridia valley WNW->N->ENE and MacGillycuddy’s Reeks to NE. A smooth and unfractured, earthfast sandstone boulder (dims. 1.72m NNE-SSW; 0.94m ESE-WNW; max. H 0.38m), which is very weathered and covered with black/green mosses and white lichen. This boulder has a flat, sub-rectangular decorated surface (dims. 1.0m NE-SW, 0.90m NW-SE). The motifs are difficult to see and consist of a cup-and-three-ring motif (overall dims. 28cm x 25cm; ring Wth 2cm; D 3mm; cup diam. 11cm; D 13mm) is off-centre to NE; The inner ring is complete, the second ring is open to N and the third ring is present NE->SE. A cupmark (diam. 6cm, D 5mm) with adjoining radial groove (dims. L 22cm; Wth 1cm; D 2mm) abut to SE. A cup-and-two-ring motif (overall diam. 19cm; ring Wth 1cm; D 3mm; cup diam. 7cm; D 10mm) is close to SW. A rectilinear groove (dims. L 12cm E-W; 19cm NE-SW; Wth 1cm; D 3mm) connects the cup-and-two-ring motif to the cup-and-three-ring motif. A linear groove (L 35cm E-W) extends from the cup-and-three-ring motif and terminates adjacent to a cupmark at W edge of stone. A cup-and-ring motif (overall diam. 14cm; ring Wth 1.5cm; D 2mm; cup diam. 9cm; D 10mm) is located at E edge of stone. A second cup-and-ring-motif is at NW edge of stone. Four single cupmarks (diam. 5-8cm; D 20-30mm) are to ENE, SE, SW and WSW of the two main motifs. A low, semi-circular stone wall curves around this rock art site E->S->W and is 4m to E at its closest point. The motifs are slightly different to that described by O’Sullivan & Sheehan (1996, 105), which may be due to moss and lichen cover that inhibits clear visibility of the decorated surface.

• KE072-016 Field boundary
  Description

  This complex, composed of thirty-five stretches of pre-bog walls, is located on a N facing ridge at the head of the Bridia valley and directly S of the Caragh river. The walls are exposed to an average height of .55m and vary from 10m to 70m long. They are constructed of boulders and slabs set on edge. Both linear and curvilinear stretches occur, and isolated intersections are apparent. Centrally located within the complex is a subcircular enclosure (KE072-016002-), which measures 4.2m x 2.7m internally. Its drystone wall is constructed of well-built horizontal courses. An example of rock art (KE072-015----) is located within the bounds of the pre-bog system, while a fulacht fiadh (KE072-014----) is located immediately to W. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 59.
