Recorded monuments
- KE092-004001 Ringfort - rath
Description
Internal diam. 25m N-S, c. 26m E-W This roughly circular univallate rath is located in boggy pasture on a N facing slope of Knockanaskill, a short distance W of a tributary of Derreendarragh river. A modern field boundary obscures the enclosing elements at E, where the original entrance may have been located. Elsewhere the bank has an average internal height of .85m, an external height of 1.5m and is 2.2m wide. The external fosse is up to 1m deep and is 1.8m in basal width. A low semicircular earthen bank traverses the S half of the site's interior, abutting its enclosing element at SSE and SW. It is not clear if this feature is contemporary with the rath. Almost centrally located is a circular fionnán enclosure (KE092-004002-), 4m in diameter. Seven similar enclosures are located in the area immediately N of the site. 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. 537. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
