- KE026-001: Hut site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE026-001----. In rough rocky pastureland overlooking Brandon Bay. An irregularly-shaped corbelled drystone structure with a possible 2nd chamber adjoining its NNE side. D: 2.9 x c. 1.9m. H: 1.36m. T: 1.4m.

Toberyline/Tobar Flainn: Located at the base of the sea cliffs immediately S of Brandon point. It is a 'clear spring in a rock crevice below high tide level' (Ó Danachair 1960, 72) and was visited on June 29th as part of a turas which also included Turrasyline (KE026-003----), 500m to SW. The Co. Kerry Field Club (1948) noted that the site was visited on New Years Day. The well is not easily accessible and was not inspected during this survey. See attached photographs of holy well courtesy of Amanda Clarke. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

- KE026-003: Ecclesiastical site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE026-003----. Turrasyline/Turas Fhlainn: Classification of this site is difficult due to the very ruined and disturbed nature of the remains. The turas from which the site derives its name was performed here within living memory and included a visit to Tobar Fhlainn (KE026-002----), at the base of the sea-cliffs c. 500m to N. This suggests an ecclesiastical origin for the site and a local tradition of a church here further supports this interpretation. The site lies on a very steep slope overlooking Brandon Bay to SE, within a field that is criss-crossed by both an old and a recently-excavated trackway. The present remains consist of the ruins of 3 or 4 clochauns and 3 piles of stones which may have been penitential stations. The westernmost structure is sub-rectangular in plan, measuring 3.45m SW-NE x 2.55m NW-SE internally, and the present remains appear to represent 2 phases of construction. The earliest phase is represented by the NW wall which is curved in outline and is of neat drystone corbelled construction. It stands to a height of 1.4m. The remaining walls are vertical, roughly built and no more than .6m high. The tops of the walls are flush with the external ground level and no section of the external wall face is visible above ground. In the rubble directly SE of the structure is a small drystone-built niche of unknown function; it is .65m wide, .4m deep and .45m high. Adjoining the SW wall of the structure is an area of stone collapse in which the outline of a 2nd structure can be vaguely discerned. Its shape and dimensions are not clear. About 7.5m to NNE of the latter group of features are the remains of a possible hut. It appears to have been of corbelled drystone construction, but only a 1.45m long arc of the inner face survives, the upper course flush with the external ground level to N. The best-preserved structure lies on the E side of the recent track and consists of a circular drystone corbelled clochaun measuring 3.7m in diameter internally. The wall is 1.8m wide and a maximum of 1.8m high and the entrance is represented by a 1.4m wide gap at S. A recess in the wall, at the present level of the ground surface in the interior, measures .7m in width, .6m in depth and .4m in height. The ground to E and NE of the latter clochaun has been terraced and the outline of a possible hut can also be discerned here. A 4.2m long section of the outer wall face stands to a height of .6m but otherwise the outline is indicated by a low mound of stone collapse. The masonry differs from that used in the other structures in that the stones used are considerably larger, averaging about .75m in length, and the possibility exists that this walling was part of an enclosure wall rather than, or perhaps as well as, a hut. However, no further traces of an enclosure wall are evident. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

This suggests an ecclesiastical origin for the site and a local tradition of a church here further supports this interpretation. The site lies on a very steep slope overlooking Brandon Bay to SE, within a field that is criss-crossed by both an old and a recently-excavated trackway. The present remains consist of the ruins of 3 or 4 clochauns and 3 piles of stones which may have been penitential stations KE026-003002-, KE026-003008- & KE026-003009-).

- KE026-004: Promontory fort - coastal, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE026-004----. Less than a kilometre S of Brandon Point a small promontory on the W side of Brandon Bay is defended by a thick stone wall. The level interior measures a maximum of 18.8m E-W and 23.5m N-S and is bounded to N and S by sheer cliffs c. 13m high. The wall rises from 1.1 to 4.15m above the interior, but the inner face is not generally preserved to such a height and has collapsed entirely in places. The wall rises up to 1.95m above the external ground level which is considerably higher than the level of the interior of the fort. It varies in thickness from 2.2 to 4.37m. Two terraces can be traced for short stretches along the N section of the inner face. The outer face is incorporated into the modern field wall system and may have been substantially rebuilt. A single course of stone walling extends 5m along the edge of the promontory from the S end of the wall. The interior was formerly cultivated (OSNB Cloghane, book 1, 45) and the latter feature may be the remains of a perimeter wall associated with this phase of use. No entrance gap is visible in the present remains. The site is known locally as An Cathairin, and An Seabhac (1939, 220) records the placenames Log an Dúinín and Cuas na Cathrach in the vicinity.

Located within a farmyard and probably built in fairly recent times as an outbuilding. A circular hut, the walls rising vertically for 1.45m externally and .85m internally before being corbelled inwards to form the roof. D: 2.4m. H: 2.4m. T: .94m.

- KE026-006: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE026-006----. This site is known locally as a burial ground, particularly for children. It lies about 75m SE of Murirrigane, on a gentle E facing slope overlooking Brandon Bay. At the SW corner of a field, a small area, measuring 14 x 18m, is bounded to N and W by field walls and to S by the Murirrigane river. Its E side is open and centrally positioned along this side is a small, circular cairn of stones, retained by low, roughly-built drystone masonry. The cairn is c. 3m in diameter and .6m high and its upper surface is strewn with a number of quartz pebbles. A dressed slab, with a series of markings, was discovered at a calluragh in this area (CKFC 1949), probably this one but possibly the burial ground at Ballymore (KE026-007----). The present whereabouts of the stone is not known and it was therefore not possible to determine whether the markings represent a script, as believed by the Co. Kerry Field Club, or whether they were natural or accidental. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

Internal diam. 26m On a gentle SE facing slope overlooking Brandon Bay are the very ruined remains of an enclosure, probably a cashel, and a hut-site. The enclosing wall survives only around the N half of the site. Here it is represented in part by a low, grass-grown bank with some stones visible, and in part by a discontinuous line of large stones, some standing upright to a height of .86m, some set on edge and others collapsed. At the E end, 2 parallel standing stones, which may mark the inner and outer wall faces, indicate a wall thickness of only .8m. A straight townland boundary wall now defines the SW sector of the site. The downslope portion of the interior is raised .6 to .7m above the field level beyond and the SE limit of the enclosure is marked by a scarp which extends in a straight line from the townland boundary at S to the enclosing wall at E. Several large boulders strewn along this scarp may formerly have formed part of the enclosing wall. The interior is very disturbed but appears to have been on 2 levels. On the upper terrace, a circular hut-site abuts the enclosing bank at W. This is 4.3m in internal diameter and the drystone-built inner face survives to a maximum height of .58m. The E half of the wall is traceable only as a very slight grass-grown bank and the entrance must have been positioned in this sector. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 587.
