• KE021-119 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 33m N-S, 35m E-W This univallate rath is bounded to the NW through N to NE by a fieldbank which curves around the fort. It consists of a sub-circular area enclosed by a bank and external fosse. The earthen enclosing bank is 7m wide and rises to 2m internally and 3m externally. The external fosse, which is only traceable from the NW through N to NE, is 1.6m wide and c .8m deep. The interior is at a higher level than the surrounding land, and contained within are the possible remains of a rectangular house-site; several small mounds are also visible. The house-site's (KE021-119001-) long axis is aligned NW-SE and measures 12m x 6m with walls c 1m thick. It would appear to be divided into three sections of roughly equal size. At least four small mounds (KE021-119002-) also exist in the interior, all roughly 1.2m in internal diameter and .4m high. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 784.

• KE021-121 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 27.2m N-S, 28.4m E-W This univallate rath is situated two fields SW of KE021-119----. A fieldbank and bohareen run immediately to the S of this site in a NW-SE direction. The enclosing earthen bank is well defined and is on average 5m wide at the base. It rises to a maximum of 2m above the interior and 2m above the external fosse. The fosse is very shallow, but still quite distinguishable, although it is not traceable to the SW through S to SE, where the fieldbank cuts through it; elsewhere it is 1.6m wide and c .8m deep. The interior is at a higher level than the surrounding land and access is provided by two breaks to the NW and NE, but whether these are the original entrances is very doubtful.

• KE021-122 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 41.6m N-S, 44.4m E-W According to the landowner, this rath was originally bivallate, but the outer ring was completely removed and no visible trace survives. What remains today is a circular area enclosed by a bank and external fosse. A bohareen cuts through this site in a WSW-ENE direction. The enclosing earthen bank is well defined and has a steep exterior side. It rises to a maximum of 2.5m internally and 4.3m externally. The external fosse only survives to the W to N to NE where it is 1.2m-3.4m wide and 1.2m deep. The interior is at a higher level than the surrounding land. Two main breaks can be noted in the enclosing bank, one to the NW measuring c 2m and one to the SE measuring c 2m. A circular mound (KE021-122002-) lies in the centre of the interior; it is 7.2m N-S and 7.8m E-W internally and 1.2m high. 6.8m S of the mound is a depression .6m deep (KE021-122001- & KE021-122003-). According to the landowner, this was originally a shaft about 30 feet deep that had to be closed up. Another shaft lay in the N sector, but this has also been closed up.

• KE021-122003 Ogham stone
  Description

  This ogham stone is re-used as a lintel in a souterrain (KE021-122001-) in a ringfort (KE021-122----) in this townland. It is a narrow sandstone slab in the roof of the passage N of the main chamber. 15 scores, lightly chiselled and shallow, can be made out on the south angle (6 on narrow face, 9 on the broad face) before the inscription disappears into the wall of the souterrain. Some of the scores on the broad face may cross the angle but it is not possible to see because of the position of the lintel.

• KE021-123 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

The external height of the bank measures 1.2m, the width of the bank at the base measures 4.4m and the internal height of the bank measures .8m. The width of the fosse measures 1.6m and .6m below the internal area. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle.
