- KE053-041 Ringfort - rath
Description
Internal diam. 30m A circular univallate rath situated on a very slight N facing slope on the S side of the tidal estuary of the Owenalondrig river. The fairly level interior is enclosed by a well-preserved earthen bank and fosse. The latter is 3.25m wide and 1m deep, but has been filled in along the N sector. The bank rises c. 3m above the base of the fosse and 2m above the interior. A 2m wide gap in the N sector provides access to the interior and there is a 2nd less well-defined gap at W. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 530. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
- KE053-042 Souterrain
Description
There is now no visible trace of the souterrain situated on a very gentle N facing slope c. 75m W of Tobernamoodane village and overlooking Short Strand to NW. It consisted of 2 chambers which were discovered when an overlying mound was levelled (local information). The porthole slab which spanned the entrance between the 2 chambers has been preserved. This is a semi-circular stone with a semi-circular aperture neatly cut from the straight side to form a low arch, .4m wide at base and .26m high. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 788. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
- KE053-043 Ringfort - rath
Description
The site of the circular univallate enclosure marked on the OS maps is now occupied by a barn and farmyard. The outline of portion of the enclosing bank is preserved as a scarp which falls up to 2m to the external ground level, but the monument is for the most part destroyed. It was about 20.3m in diameter. The site lies on a gentle N facing slope at the SE edge of the village. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 734. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

- KE053-044 Burnt spread
Description
This low-lying, level field, less than 500m E of Trabeg, was recently deep-ploughed and in the process a low, grass-covered mound was removed. When inspected, the remains consisted of burnt and shattered stones, intermingled with a large quantity of charcoal and spread over a sub-circular area about 7.5m in diameter. A small stream flows along the side of the field about 15m to N and the field is known as ‘Páirc an tSeana-Mhuilinn’ (An Seabhac 1939, 155). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 248.

- KE053-049 Ringfort - rath
Description
Internal diam. 24m This circular univallate rath, containing the remains of 2 hut sites, lies on a N facing slope overlooking Trabeg. It is enclosed by an earthen bank and fosse, the latter present along the W side only. The fosse averages 1.2m in depth below the external ground level and 3.2m below the crest of the bank. The latter is up to 1.5m high internally. The inner face of the bank has collapsed considerably but sections of its drystone facing are preserved. The E facing entrance is also faced with drystone walling but is now blocked. (1) (KE053-049001-) This hut abuts the bank at N and only the N half of its outline is now discernible. It was at least 4.2m in diameter internally and its wall stands to a maximum height of .85m. (2) (KE053-049002-) The SW part of the interior is occupied by a stony mound measuring 14.3m x 8m x lm in height. A circular depression at its S end may be the remains of a hut. This is c. 4.2m in diameter and is enclosed by a bank of stones and earth. A 2nd depression, directly N of the 1st, measures 2m x c. lm x .8m in depth, and its SSE side is lined with drystone masonry; the function of this feature is not clear. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 531.
