Recorded monuments

• KE048-230 Enclosure
  Description

  This potential feature was reported by Michael Connolly, County Archaeologist, Kerry County Council. It was identified by him during the course of an assessment of a 40 square mile area for the purpose of choosing a road route in 2000 to the north of Killarney. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as the low remains of a small enclosure. A low rise is located within this vicinity, adjacent to the eastern field boundary. The area is densely overgrown and there are some land drains making it difficult to conclude if the low rise is potentially archaeological or naturally formed. In rough, poorly drained rushy pasture. Tall rushes and ferns with occasional clumps of dense briars, all to shoulder height. Evidence of drainage activities in field.

• KE058-001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. A circular area (52m E-W) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank (Wth 5.2m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.1m) SSW-SSE and by a scarp SSE-SSW. There is a possible entrance (Wth 4m) at N. Other breaks occur in the bank at NE, SW and ESE. The interior slopes down towards the centre from the W, N and E. A N-S field boundary abuts the bank externally along the W arc. An E-W field boundary, with a lane on its S side, tangentially abuts the bank externally along the S arc. A subrectangular, hachured feature (c. 15m E-W; c. 10m N-S) abuts the S arc internally on the 1897 OS 6-inch map.
