• KE108-021 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on the lower S-facing slope of Cummeenahillan Mountain. The faint outline of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) is visible on an aerial photograph (GSIAP, V 134-5) taken in May 1973. This possible enclosure is not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry.

• KE108-022 Stone circle - multiple-stone
  Description

  In pasture, in the narrow valley of the Drimminboy River. An incomplete circle (diam. 7.5m) comprising eight upright stones (H 1.18-2m; 0.8-2m x 0.2-0.6m) and one fallen stone, stands in an arc ESE-NNW. One stone (H 0.4m) appears to be broken. The axial stone, which leans inwards, has a flat top and is the longest and lowest stone. The stones in the S half of the perimeter decrease in height as they approach the axial stone. Ó Nualláin (1984a, 29) suggests that this stone circle, 'if symmetrically designed, would seem to have consisted of thirteen closely-set stones'.
