• KE091-045 Enclosure
  Description

  This ruinous stone enclosure, not marked on the OS maps, is located in S sloping boggy pasture on the W side of the Ardsheelhane river valley. Subcircular in outline, its N and S sectors are formed by rock outcrops. The E side is poorly preserved, marked only by some large boulders. The W half of the site is formed by a series of slabs set upright and on edge, averaging .5m high and .4m wide. The area enclosed measures 10.9m N-S x 12.8m E-W. 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. 776.

• KE091-046001 Boulder-burial
  Description

  Not marked on the OS maps, this site is located in marshy land on the W side of the Ardsheelhane river valley, on the lower SE slopes of River Hill. Two examples of rock art (KE091-048---- & KE091-049----) occur in the adjacent field at S. The boulder-burial is centrally positioned within a subcircular area, c. 9m in diameter, which is defined by a setting of upright stones and stones set on edge. The stones are generally .5m apart and on average stand .5m high. The largest stone occurs at NE and is .6m high, .6m wide and .35m thick; the remainder are more blocklike in appearance and a number of them have fallen. A field wall truncates the enclosure's S side, while an intersecting field boundary abuts it at E. The boulder-burial consists of a block-like cover-stone supported on three stones that have been partly obscured by overgrowth. The cover-stone is aligned N-S on its longer axis and tilts upwards towards S. It has maximum dimensions of 1.63m x 1m and averages .66m thick. The two support stones at S have average dimensions of .65m x .42m x .1m. The stone at N is barely visible. 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. 380.

• KE091-048 Rock art
  Description

  This example of rock art is located in boggy land on the lower SE slopes of River Hill. Approximately 100m to the N is a boulder-burial (KE091-046001-), and a second example of rock art is located 20m to the S. The exposed portion of this earthfast rock, measuring 1.3m x 1m, bears two cup-and-rings, one of which is gapped, and eight cupmarks, four of which are rather small and occur in a linear arrangement. All motifs survive in a rather weathered condition. 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. 375. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013 In rough pasture (97m OD), on an E-facing slope of low hillock, overlooking Ardsheelhane River valley N->E->S. A smooth and fractured, low profile sandstone rock outcrop (dims. 1.16m NNE-SSW; 1.59m ESE-WNW; max. H 0.39m at SE) with a flat, oval decorated surface (dims. 0.41m N-S; 0.97m E-W). The motifs are distributed in a linear arrangement across the centre of the rock outcrop and include a cup-and-ring motif (overall diam. 11cm; ring Wth 1cm; D 3mm; cup diam. 5cm; D 7mm) at E end; A cupmark (diam. 4.5cm; D 4mm) is adjacent to SW. A cup-and-partial-ring motif (overall dims. 16cm x 10cm; ring Wth 2cm; D 4mm; cup diam. 5cm; D 7mm) is off-centre to W; A cupmark (diam. 5cm; D 8mm) is adjacent to WNW and two cupmarks are adjacent to E. There are four small pockmarks (diam. 1.5cm; D 3-4mm) forming a linear arrangement (long-axis E-W), on W side of stone. A small roofed stone building is located c. 20m to NW.

• KE091-049 Rock art
  Description

  This stone is located S of KE091-048---- and is incorporated into an E–W field fence. Both of its opposing flat faces are decorated. The more heavily decorated S face, 1.7m x .8m, features a grid-pattern formed of grooves and a natural fissure, into which various cup-and-ring and cupmark motifs are incorporated. At least eighteen individual cupmarks occur on the grooves, and in the spaces enclosed by the grid. The cup-and-ring motifs cluster towards one end of the decorated face, and include eight cup-and-rings with radial lines and one cup-and-four rings with a radial line. Adjacent to the latter motif is a circular pocked area. The N side of the stone features two cup-and-rings with radial lines (Graves 1877, 288; Finlay 1973, 67–8). See attached drawing of rock art taken from O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, Fig. 68 (a & b) 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. 376. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. In rough pasture (94m OD), on an E-facing slope, overlooking Ardsheelhane River valley N->E->S; views obscured by trees. Small stream is c. 5m to S. Set into drystone wall (H 1.1m; long-axis E-W) and encompassed by holly tree growing on N side of field boundary. Slightly rough and fractured, substantial boulder (dims. 1.42m N-S; 1.29m E-W; T 0.71m) with a rectangular decorated surface upon the S and NNE-facing aspects. The S-facing surface (dims. 1.42m N-S; 1.29m E-W; 0.71m) is highly decorated and includes a cup-and-four-ring motif (overall diam. 24cm; ring Wth 1cm; D 3mm; cup diam. 6cm; D 21mm) which is very weathered and worn around the northern arc; A radial groove (L 13cm; Wth 1cm) extends from the cupmark at SE. A cup-and-two-ring motif (overall dims. 13cm; ring Wth 1-2cm; D 3mm; cup diam. 6cm; D 18mm) and a deep cupmark (diam. 6cm; D 19mm) are located to NE. The cup-and-two ring is depicted as a cup-and-one ring motif by O’Sullivan & Sheehan (1996, 104; Fig. 68a). A radial groove (L 5.5cm; Wth 1cm) extends from the cupmark at SE. A cup-and-ring motif (overall diam. 11cm; ring Wth 1cm; D 3mm; cup diam. 7cm; D 15mm) is located to S; A short radial groove (L 4cm; Wth 1cm; D 3mm) extends from cupmark at SE. A large cupmark (diam. 12cm; D 17cm) adjacent to W, has possibly deepened due to weathering. Other cup-and-ring motifs (average overall Wth 12cm; ring Wth 2cm; D 5mm; cup diam. 5cm; D 10mm) are arranged around the cup-and-four-ring motif. A partial cup-and-ring element having a very weathered ring is located at N end of decorated surface. A number of cupmarks (average diam. 4-5cm; D 4-6mm) are to N of a natural fracture (long-axis NE-SW) across decorated surface. A complex network of linear grooves (average Wth 1.5-2cm; D 4mm) cover this decorated surface, in and around the other motifs. In contrast, the NNE-facing decorated surface is relatively simple and consist of a large penannular cup-and-ring motif (overall dims. 13cm; ring Wth 1-3cm; D 5mm; cupmark diam. 5cm; D 10mm) which is weathered across the S arc; A radial groove (L 6cm; Wth 1cm; D 4mm) extends from the cupmark at S. A small cup-and-ring motif (overall dims. 8cm; ring Wth 1cm; D 4mm; cupmark diam. 4cm; D 4mm) to SE, has a radial groove (L 3cm; Wth 1cm; D 3mm) extending to N. The top of the stone is flat (dims. 0.25m N-S; 0.60cm E-W) and bears no obvious motifs. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 6 July 2017
