• KE070-067 Children's burial ground
  Description

  This site is depicted as a circular enclosure, titled 'Burial ground' (KE070-067----), on both editions of the OS maps. It was described in the OSNB as a fort with a burial ground, which was locally known as the 'White Fort' (Killinane, 37). There are a few upright slabs within its stony interior, which may relate to the site's use as a burial ground. 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. 624.

• KE070-067001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  This site is depicted as a circular enclosure, titled 'Burial ground' (KE070-067----), on both editions of the OS maps. It was described in the OSNB as a fort with a burial ground, which was locally known as the 'White Fort' (Killinane, 37). It is located on the N bank of the Ferta river on the lower W slopes of Teermoyle mountain, and may be an ecclesiastical site. It survives as a D-shaped enclosure, 20m in diameter N-S. Its straight W side is overlain by a field boundary which runs along the crest of a low ridge, and a second field boundary runs adjacent to the site at NW. The enclosing wall is faced internally and externally with coursed drystone masonry with a rubble core. It survives only two to three courses in height, and is 2.4m wide. An eroded gap, 1m wide, is located at NE and may represent the original entrance. The interior of the site is divided into two levels by a .6m high revetment of crude drystone masonry which incorporates some exceptionally large boulders along its base. On the upper, SW, level are three large upright slabs, averaging .5m high x .75m wide, forming a right angle, and two adjoining rectangular structures. The roughly coursed walls of the latter survive only one to two courses high, and average .9m wide. The internal dimensions of the structures are 5.3m x 3.5m and 2.9m x 2.8m. On the lower, NE, level of the site is a subrectangular area enclosed by a crude stone wall, one to two courses high. It abuts the enclosing element at N and measures 3.3m x 2.3m internally. There are a few upright slabs within its stony interior, which may relate to the site's use as a burial ground. The foundations (KE070-067003-) of a suboval structure, open at its W end, are located 1m to SE. Its roughly coursed walls are .4m high and .6m wide, and enclose an area 2.1m x 1.6m. Abutting the external face of the enclosing element at S is a curving stretch of apparently contemporary walling. It may represent the remains of a circular structure.

• KE070-070 Children's burial ground
  Description

  This site is located in poor pasture land which slopes gently from the foot of Teermoyle mountain to the Ferta river, 300m to SW. It commands a wide view of the surrounding countryside and comprises a subrectangular burial area, located towards the N end of a possible early enclosure. Standing within the burial area is a cross-slab and an ogham stone. Skinner records that rounds were formerly performed at the site on Good Fridays (ITA). The subrectangular burial area, raised .5m above external ground level at S, measures 21.7m NW-SE x 15.5m NE-SW. It is located in the E corner of a modem field and is bounded at N and E by field walls. It is delimited elsewhere by a stony bank. Planted with spruce trees, the interior contains about thirty small, upright slabs, the majority of which occur in regular rows. These slabs presumably relate to the use of the site as a ceallúnach, which continued until the beginning of the twentieth century (local information). Approximately 30m NW of the burial ground is a curving stretch of stony bank with an external fosse. It may have formed part of an early enclosure. Adjacent to its inner face at W are a number of small, angular stretches of banks, and the foundations of a large rectangular building measuring 15.8m NE-SW x 11.2m NW-SE. The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 972.

• KE070-070001 Ogham stone
  Description

  This stone is located 3.5m NE of the cross-slab and stands .7m high; it measures .26m x .19m at base. It carries the inscription along both worn edges. Macalister (1945, 234) read it as: MOCURRUTI MAQI VLISACESUCMIR The inscription commences on the sinister angle of the S face. The first four letters are clearly visible and are followed by the somewhat damaged double R. The remaining letters of this word can no longer be readily deciphered. The first four letters of the remainder of the inscription, which commences on the dexter angle of the N face, are now buried. The other characters are more or less legible. Macalister's E is represented by only two vowel notches, though these are widely spaced. The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J.

• KE070-072001 Rock art
  Description

  The decorated stone (KE070-072001-) is an approximately rectangular-sectioned block of green sandstone measuring .68m x .28m x .24m. It is decorated on all four faces. A portion of one face has been broken off, but on the remaining portion is an incomplete cup-and-circle and radial line. Macalister's illustration of the stone indicates that there was a similar motif towards its broader end. The obverse face features a ring and radial groove, as well as a conjoined arrangement of five subcircular and two incomplete rings, one of which features a central cupmark. Three grooves run from this arrangement to the edges of the stone. The sides of the stone each feature a sub-circular pocked area with a radial line and a plain cupmark. The absence of decoration on either end of the stone supports the suggestion that it may have originally functioned as a pillar stone (Connolly 1991, 34-41). 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. 396. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013 At E side of rubble stone building (194m OD), at E edge of farmyard complex and near to boundary with the tertiary road. A smooth and unfractured, portable pillar stone (dims. L 0.65m; Wth 0.28m; T 0.20m) lying flat upon ground surface. This sandstone is decorated on all four surfaces (Sides A-D) where motifs are weathered and obscured by mosses. Side A has a rectangular decorated surface (dims. L 0.44m; Wth 0.28m) bearing six inter-connecting rings (min. dims. 9cm x 7cm to max. dims. 9cm x 11cm; Wth 1.5-2cm; D 2mm) with the central example forming a cup-and-ring motif (overall dims. 13cm x 11cm; Wth 2cm; D 2-3mm; cup diam. 5cm; D 3mm). A linear groove (dims. L 13cm; Wth 2cm; D 3mm) extends from this ring to long edge of stone. Two other linear grooves (dims. L 7cm; Wth 2cm and L 9cm; Wth 1.5cm), roughly parallel to the linear groove mentioned above, extend from the rings either side of the cup-and-ring to edge of stone. All as per Connolly (1991, 35, Fig. 2a). Side B has a sub-rectangular decorated surface (dims. L 0.32m; Wth 0.23m) having a circular motif (dims. 9cm x 8cm; D 2-3mm) formed by pickmarks; A linear groove (dims. L 9cm; Wth 1.5-2cm; D 3mm) extend from this motif to long edge of stone. Small cupmark (dims. 3cm x 2.5cm; D 5mm) is located 22cm from circular motif. All as per Connolly (1991, 35, Fig. 2b). Side C has a rectangular decorated surface (dims. L 0.24m; Wth 0.15m), part of which has broken off. A large cup-and-ring motif (overall dims. 16cm x 14cm (to edge of fracture); ring Wth 2cm; D 2mm; cup diam. 5cm; D 2mm. A linear groove (dims. L 7cm; Wth 2cm; D 2mm) extends from ring to long edge of stone. According to Connolly (1991, 34, Fig. 2c), the damaged surface bore a similar cup-and-ring, however the radial groove extended from the opposite side of the ring. Side D has a sub-rectangular decorated surface (dims. L 0.39m; Wth 0.17m) having a circular motif (dims. 7cm x 6cm; D 2mm; cup diam. 2cm; D 6mm) defined by pickmarks; A linear groove (dims. L 7cm; Wth 1cm; D 3mm) (Connolly 1991, 35, Fig 2d). According to Connolly (ibid), this decorated stone is reputed to have been found in a cairn.

• KE070-108 Field boundary
  Description

  The Ferta river rises in the high ground between Teermoyle and Coomcarrea mountains, then descends steeply to run WSW along a flat-bottomed valley towards Valencia Harbour. Immediately below its steep descent, on its S side, is a series of walls which criss-cross the mountain face and disappear beneath the peat on the lower mountain slopes. Three huts, which may be related to the walls, occur towards the NW end of the system. Only a thin mantle of peat covers the higher mountain slopes, where the walls stand up to 1m above ground surface. On the lower slopes, a number of the walls are cut through by modern drains, where it becomes apparent that they were constructed on the pre-peat ground surface. These walls, averaging 1.2m wide, are composed of intermittently spaced uprights, boulder-like slabs set on edge and an infill of loose tumbles of stones. In general, only the upper portions of the uprights are visible. A subrectangular hut (KE070-105001-), 67m S of the river, is defined by slabs set on edge. It measures 3m x 4m internally and a possible entrance gap at N, .8m wide, leads into an adjoining circular enclosure (KE070-105003-). This is crudely built and measures 4m x 5m internally. A small circle of large slabs, N of the enclosure, may be an animal shelter (KE070-105004-). Some 230m to E is the remains of a pair of conjoined circular hut foundations. Roughly equidistant to the NE is a second pair of conjoined circular huts of corbelled drystone construction measuring 2.9m x 2.7m and 2.8m x 2.5m internally. 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. 64.

• KE070-136 Sweathouse
  Description

  The following description of this monument was kindly provided by Aidan Harte: 'The sweathouse is positioned on the lower south-west facing slope of a spur extending west from Teeromoyle Mountain, just inside the limits of modern maintained pasture. However, the slope here is quite gentle and the soils retain moisture promoting vegetation such as reeds. There are extensive views to the southwest and west towards Coomduff. The structure itself is generally well preserved. Externally, the sweathouse structure is clearly rectangular in plan and is built into a substantial field boundary. This boundary is orientated west-northwest/east-southeast and forms the northern wall of the structure. It measures 1.2m in width, averages 0.9m high and is composed of rubble on which gorse/furze bushes have grown. The masonry of the structure consists of drystone grey sandstone rubble slabs, fitted in a drystone method, crudely in places. Although, the external walls are low, at only 0.9m in height, they are almost vertical. The roof is covered with sod and reaches a maximum external of 1.4m (Plate 20). The mantle/sod is an estimated 0.15m in thickness and seems that it has been intentionally places on the structure. The entrance is formed using the field boundary as its northern side. The entrance, therefore, opens to the east-southeast. It is of simple flat-lintel design and measures 0.75m in height by 0.48m in width. The southern side of the doorway is formed by five courses which form a straight edge at the doorway, while the other side is defined by a large boulder from ground level to the lintel. This large boulder also forms part of the field boundary and is 1.2m in length. The thickness of the wall at the entrance is also its thinnest measurement at 0.48m, while the rear wall of the structure is 0.9m in thickness. The interior of the structure is sub-rectangular in plan and measures 1.38m north-south by 1.7m east-west (Plate 22). The internal height measured 1.1m. The ceiling is flat and formed by a single large slab. There is no smoke outlet, although there is a breach in the rear wall where some of the stones have collapsed outward. It is unlikely however, that this was originally a smoke outlet. There is no internal collapse and so the floor level is probably nearly representative of original. The interior wall faces show no signs of having been heated. To the east, a mountain stream flows downslope from the north. This is 35m east of the entrance to the sweathouse. The structure is not found in close association with any other archaeological monument. However, the surrounding landscape is rich in sites. There is an early ecclesiastical site (KE070-007003-) approximately 300m to the west southwest. There are also multiple hut-sites to the north and east but all are a significant distance from the Sweathouse. This townland also has several examples of rock art and relict field systems. Local landowners were aware of the structure but had never known of its use. There is no tradition of sweathouse use in the locality. While the boundary to which the structure is adjoined in now relict, there is little possibility that it will be removed due to the methods of agriculture employed on the mountainside.'
