National Monument No. 143. Internal diam. 27.2m N-S, 26.8m E-W. Staigue Fort/Cathair na Stéige: This imposing caher is located on a low rise at the head of the Staigue river valley, and commands a fine view along the valley to Kenmare Bay at SSW. The caher, surrounded by the remains of a fosse and an external bank, consists of a massive circular rampart which features a lintelled entrance, two mural chambers, and an internal terrace with interconnecting steps. It fell into some disrepair during its period of use as a cattle pound in the late eighteenth century (Bland 1825, 20), and repairs were carried out on it by the OPW during the nineteenth century (Harbison 1970, 119). The extent and nature of this work appears to be undocumented, and it is difficult lo distinguish the original from the modern stonework. Minor repairs were also carried out at the site in the early 1940s (information: C. Manning). The skilfully built enclosing rampart consists of a substantial rubble core faced internally and externally with horizontal courses of drystone masonry. The external facing is of superior quality, the interstices being plugged with carefully chosen spawls. Both faces display a pronounced batter which is returned to the full height of the wall. At the well-preserved N sector of the caher the batter measures .75m and 1.15m externally and internally respectively, reducing the rampart width from 4.1m at its base to 2.2m at its top. A slight outward bulge of the rampart occurs at W, and at NW two wall-joints are visible on both of its faces. Measuring 4.1m apart at the base of the rampart externally, and 5.45m apart at its top, these may indicate that a gap was left here to allow access to the interior of the site during its construction. The walling between the joints is of similar construction to that elsewhere on the rampart, and incorporates one of the mural chambers at its base. The rampart stands to a maximum external height of 5.7m at N, where both Bland and Dunraven noted a number of coping stones projecting slightly over its inner wall-face (1825, 18-19; 1875, 24). Two of these remain in situ, and average 1m x .4m x .08m thick. Significant portions of the upper courses of the rampart are missing at SE and at S, where the surviving section stands only 2m in external height. An entrance passage, 4.1m long and 1.8m high, leads into the interior of the caher from S. It is roofed with three lintels, the external one relieved by another set one course above it. The side-walls of the passage incline inwards from a basal width of 1.5m to 1.25m below the lintels. The inner face of the rampart features a terrace, on average 1.2m high above ground level, which is divided into sections by inset arrangements of opposing steps. These sections average .6m wide and vary in length from about 2m, on either side of the entrance passage, up to 12m at NE. From this terrace access is gained to the top of the rampart by further sets of opposing steps, which tend to occur midway along the lengths of the individual sections of the terrace. The combined overall effect of the upper and lower flights of steps, of which there are ten, is that of wide-waisted X's. The interior of the caher is level and featureless, and from it access is gained to the two intramural chambers. That at NW features a lintelled entrance which is 1.4m high and .7m wide at base. It leads into a subrectangular chamber which measures 2.3m NE-SW x 1.4m NW-SE. The drystone coursed walls rise vertically to a height of .8m from which point they begin to corbel. The roof is closed with one large slab at a height of 2.1m. Three large lintel-like slabs are incorporated in the corbelled portion of the end-wall at SE. The second chamber is located at SSW, 5.1m from the entrance of the caher, and is entered through a lintelled opening which is 1.1m high and .7m wide at base. The chamber is rectangular in plan, widening slightly midway along its length. It measures 3.6m NW-SE x 1.4m NE-SW. Corbelling of the walls commence at a height of .9m, and the ridge of the roof is closed by a series of overlapping slabs. A flat-bottomed fosse, on average 1.5m deep and 3m wide, surrounds the caher. It is poorly preserved at SE, and at S it is traversed by an ill-defined causeway which corresponds with the position of the entrance to the caher. The flat-topped outer bank is of earth and gravel composition, and rises up to 2m high from the base of the fosse. It is fairly well-preserved except at S and SE. At N it measures 5.5m in basal width and rises .5m above external ground level. Two levelled hut sites (KE099-020----) and traces of a small square enclosure (KE099-035----) are located close to Staigue Fort, at SSW and E respectively. Some 500m to SSE is a primitive copper mine (KE099-034----). A number of artefacts are on record from in or near Staigue Fort. A gold dress-fastener of Bronze Age type was found between 1840 and 1860 'in or at the outer wall of Staigue Fort' (NMI). A plaster-cast copy of this object (NMI 1927:910) is now in KCM (L1992:40), but the whereabouts of the original is unknown. A perforated whetstone (NMI 1931:310) was found 'near' the site in 1931 (Irish Times, 8/9/1931), and is also now in KCM (L1992:44). A horn spoon was found in one of the mural chambers of the caher in 1956 (KAS). It is currently in the Cork Public Museum.

According to Hayward (1976, 117) 'at Castlecove we turned right at the Staigue Fort Hotel and traversed a rough humpy road for about three miles into the mountains'. According to local information this is the road that is still used to go from the main road up the valley to Staigue Fort. Hayward (ibid., 156) mentions a 'further section of the old road from Staigue, disused now for many a year'. Local information is that this old road passes over the hump-backed, stone-built bridge with two segmental arches and low parapet walls, about 1.5km S of Staigue Fort. This old road has been reused as part of 'The Kerry Way', which runs in a NE direction along the hillside from Staigue for c. 12 km to Sneem and then continues onwards to the E of Sneem. The construction date of this road is not known. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 30 May 2011

This souterrain, not marked on the OS maps, is located in the SE quadrant of a roughly circular field which is bounded on its W side by a stream. The site affords a restricted view of Kenmare Bay to S. The souterrain entranee faces SE and gives access to a small passage, ,9m wide and 1.5m high, which slopes downwards to N W for 1.95m. The passage, with sides of earth, is roofed by a series of overlapping lintels; small pad-stones are wedged beneath the lintels. There is a tunnelled creepway, .6m x .4m and .65m long, in the NW end-wall of the passage. An accumulation of stone beyond the creepway prevents access. Adjacent, in the SW side-wall, is a second tunnelled creepway, .44m x .7m and .25m long, which leads into a tunnelled chamber with a domed roof. The longer axis of the chamber is NE-SW, but a mound of earth directly inside the creepway prevents access. 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. 902.

This primitive mine, exploiting a sedimentary copper-bed, is located close to the head of the Staigue river valley c. 500m SSE of Staigue fort (KE090-013001-). The working consists of a wide, shallow opening, c. 8m wide and 1.6m high, driven 115 degrees into a S facing rock scarp for a depth of 1.4m. The rock-face exhibits minor malachite smear mineralisation and a smooth concave profile which may indicate fire-setting extraction. The footwall is exposed only outside the working. A shallow infill at the mine entrance may conceal a small spoil-dump. A ruined stone wall is located SE of the mine (O’Brien 1987, 285-90). 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. 261.

This small, rectangular enclosure, possibly a house site, is located in the field immediately E of Staigue Fort (KE099-13001-). Not marked on the OS maps, it measures 11.3m N-S x 9.7m E-W internally, and is defined by a low, severely denuded earthen bank, 1.5m wide. A 2.8m wide gap occurs at NW and may represent an entrance feature. Extending from the enclosure's SW angle is a low earthen bank, 32m long. On its S side are a series of old cultivation ridges (KE099-035001-). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.

Internal diam. 19m N-S, 20.4m E-W This poorly preserved circular caher is located on a level terrace on the W side of the Staigue river valley and affords an extensive outlook towards S. It is not marked on the OS maps. A field wall running along its SE edge has truncated the site in this sector. The enclosing wall consists of a core of radially laid slabs revetted internally and externally with slabs set on edge. The latter average .5m high and the wall is 2.15m wide. The entrance is located at E, and measures 1.1m wide and 2.2m long. It is marked by three portals, two of which form the S side. The W half of the site's interior is slightly raised and features a number of upright slabs in its NW quadrant. These probably relate to the site's use as a ceallúnach burial ground (KE107-013001- ) (local information). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.

- KE107-013001: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE107-013001-. The W half of the site's interior is slightly raised and features a number of upright slabs in its NW quadrant. These probably relate to the site's use as a ceallúnach burial ground (KE107-013001- ) (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. 621.

- KE107-014: Rock art, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE107-014----. A section of rock outcrop runs beneath the N side of the road at this location, a short distance W of Staigue river. During road widening operations in the 1970s the outcrop was seen to have rock art motifs on it, but it has since been covered over. It is reputed to have been similar to the example (KE107-010----) on the far side of the river (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. 367. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013 In improved pasture (50m OD), with occasional rock outcrop, on a NW-facing slope. Not seen. According to O’Sullivan & Sheehan (1996, 107), ‘A section of rock outcrop runs beneath the N side of the road at this location, a short distance W of Staigue river. During road widening operations in the 1970s the outcrop was seen to have rock art motifs on it, but it has since been covered over. It is reputed to have been similar to the example (KE107-010----) on the far side of the river (local information).’ Current survey notes a rock outcrop defining field boundary (long-axis NE-SW) along NW-side of road. Rock is obscured by sod and grass and only seen intermittently. Top of outcrop is 0.7m higher than road metal at this point, suggesting it may have been truncated to facilitate road widening. The abutting corner of the field is slightly higher than the surrounding area, which may define the extent of the grass-covered rock outcrop within the field. Other outcropping rock was also observed within the field. It is feasible that the motifs were covered over, as described by O’Sullivan & Sheehan (ibid).
