Recorded monuments

• KE098-001 Enclosure
  Description

  This site, known locally as 'The Turret', is marked on the first edition of the OS map as a circular enclosure. It is located in pasture on the S side of the Inny estuary and affords a lengthy view up the river valley to NE. The present remains consist of a bank enclosing a roughly square depression, 9.9m N-S x 10.1m E-W. The flat-topped bank of earth and gravel rises .8m above external ground level, averages 2.5m wide and falls 2m to the interior. A possible entrance gap, 1.1m wide, occurs in the bank at NE. Centrally positioned within the interior of the site is a low, overgrown, stony platform, 2.3m x 2m in overall dimensions, and at SE is a shallow, inaccessible opening, at least 2m wide and .3m high, which appears to extend to SE. 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. 1482. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 1 August 2013

• KE098-130 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Though not marked on the OS maps, this site is locally known as a ceallúnach and is referred to in the OSNB as such (Drummod, 41). It is located close to a field boundary, on sloping pasture which overlooks the estuary of the Inny river at E. It consists of a subrectangular, stony platform which measures 17m NE-SW x 19m NW-SE and rises up to .4m high. Its upper surface is uneven and contains a large number of small boulders and some upright, uninscribed grave-markers. The site was not used within living memory as a place of interment, but two sailors are reputed to have been buried here in the nineteenth century (local information). 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. 1038. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 July 2013
