  Description

  In rough pasture, on S bank of a small river on lower W slopes of Brandon mountain. A circular hut foundation with a 1.15m wide entrance passage opening onto E side of a rectangular yard or enclosure, 3.6m square. D: 3.2m. H: .6m. T: 1.5m. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1026.

• KE034-022 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  National Monument No. 10033. Internal diam. 29m. Situated on the lower W slopes of Brandon mountain, this circular cashel contains the remains of at least 7 stone huts and a souterrain. Both the enclosing wall and the internal structures have been rebuilt, repaired and added to at various times. The enclosing wall is 1.8m wide and stands to a maximum height of 2.8m; at least .9m of the upper courses are the result of rebuilding. The later walling is generally easily distinguishable from the earlier masonry below. The original entrance is on the SW, the 3 entrances to N, E and S being secondary features. It is 1.3m wide and is now blocked by later walling. The outer section of the passage is lined on either side by an upright slab, 1.32m and .7m high. A dividing wall extends across the interior of the enclosure from NNW to SE. The sections adjoining the cashel wall at either end are relatively recent additions, but the remainder is formed by the surviving walls of a series of huts, only 1 of which is well preserved. (1) A circular hut lying NE of centre and measuring 4.8m x 4.4m internally. The wall stands to a maximum height of 1.65m internally and 2.25m externally but the upper courses, 1.1m of the outer face and .45m of the inner face, represent later rebuilding. A break in the wall at E may simply be due to collapse of the wall here, but there is a lintelled entrance at W, now partly blocked by collapse. This is .59m wide and .76m high above present ground level. A lintelled recess at the base of the wall, a little S of the entrance, marks the well entrance to a souterrain which is not now accessible. The lintel also forms the base of a wall-cupboard, and a 2nd wall cupboard overlies this again. A similar wall-cupboard occurs .42m above present ground level, a little N of the entrance. It is .5m wide x .4m high x .5m deep. (2) Conjoined to the W side of hut (1) are the remains of the N half of a 2nd hut. The wall is 1.3m high but the upper .8m is apparently rebuilt. The entrance to W is faced on its S side only. The remainder of the S wall has collapsed and its outline is unclear. The present remains define a narrow oval area, 5.3m E-W x 2.4m N-S, but the S limit may represent later modification. If originally circular then the entrance in hut (1) would have opened directly onto the E wall of this hut. (3) This hut lies towards the NW end of the internal dividing wall and only the portion incorporated into this latter survives. It stands 1.4m high internally and 1.15m externally. A lintelled recess at its inner end is.7m wide and .4m high above present ground level; it is now blocked by collapse. (4) One of a pair of conjoined huts in the SE part of the site. Only its W and SW wall is traceable, the remainder being obscured by a heap of stones cleared from the fields outside. The interior is at least 4.4m in diameter and the wall is a maximum of .75m high. An entrance passage at SW is now blocked by collapse. It is 1.4m long, 1m wide and leads into hut (5). (5) The internal diameter of this circular hut was about 5.5m, but precise measurement is not possible because of later modifications to the W portion of the interior. The inner face is preserved to a height of 1.22m and the outer face, where visible at NW, is c. 1.35m high with a further .8m of later walling on top. To SE there is a wall-cupboard at present ground level. The main entrance lay in the SW sector where the wall no longer survives. (6) The enclosure wall at SSW forms the inner face of a hut which has undergone substantial modification. The E wall has been rebuilt but not along the original outline. To S a wall-cupboard occurs at present ground level and W of this the wall stands 1.6m high. (7) Adjoining the E side of hut (6) is a sub-rectangular structure with a possible entrance at E.

• KE034-023001 Children's burial ground
  Description

  National Monument No. 10032. Calluragh burial ground (KE034-023001-) /An Cheallúnach: Situated on the lower W slopes of Brandon mountain, this burial ground lies at the N side of a sub-rectangular field, 49m E-W x 35m N-S, which is enclosed on the N, W and S sides by modern field walls and on its E side by a low scarp or step, revetted with a rough facing of large boulders; this latter does not define any boundary at present but may relate to an earlier enclosure. The slightly curved outline of the S wall may also indicate the existence of an earlier, possibly circular, enclosure. The burial ground itself consists of a slightly raised area, 11.5m N-S x 12m E-W, which is occupied by low stony mounds, possibly graves. In the centre is a mound of loose stones, including some quartz, which measures 6.3m N-S x 1.8m E-W and which is delimited along part of its W side by possible stone facing. A cross-slab is set loosely into this mound. The W edge of the burial area is defined by a terrace or step, revetted with a rough facing of large boulders which may be related to an earlier enclosure. Children were still being buried here in the 19th century (OSNB Kilquane, 21). The NE corner of the field is occupied by the ruined foundations of a rectangular building (KE034-023003-) which measures 6.1m E-W x 3.4m N-S internally. The walls are reduced to a grass-grown band of stone collapse, 1.5m wide and no more than .5m high, though one possible outer facing stone remains in situ in the N wall. A possible entrance, .6m wide, lies at the E side of the S wall. This structure has previously been interpreted as a church (Curran no.23), but no features survive which might confirm this suggestion. The remainder of the field was formerly cultivated (Curran) and the only other features now visible are a group of 3 stones set on edge in the E sector and a single stone set on edge in the NE corner; it is possible that the latter defined one side of an entrance, the other side being marked by an outward turn in the stone-faced scarp. The lower disc of a rotary quern was found lying against the S wall of the field. Cross-slab (KE034-023002-) This roughly rectangular slab measures .72m in height, .26m in width and .07m in thickness but is now broken in two. Its present W face is decorated with a Latin cross with expanded terminals to head and arms; the wider expansion of the right arm, in comparison to that of the left arm, may partly be due to erosion. The base of the cross ends with a more elaborate motif whose outline is not entirely clear. However, it appears to take the form of a pair of conjoined ovals. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 817.

• KE034-029 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  National Monument No. 10031. Internal diam. 23.5m N-S, 26m E-W. Lisnagraigue/Lios na Gráige: A roughly circular rath containing a well-preserved clochaun and other unexplained features. It is situated on a gentle W facing slope at the base of Brandon Mountain. The earthen enclosing bank is revetted internally with drystone walling which survives intermittently to a maximum height of 1.4m. Externally the bank averages 2m in height, and it is 3.4m wide at base. The 1.3m wide entrance gap faces WSW and is lined on either side with drystone walling. The revetment walling along the W section of the bank, N of the entrance, is less well constructed than the remainder and may represent a later rebuilding. In the same sector a short stretch of stone facing occurs high up on the outer face of the bank. A stream flows around the outer edge of the bank except to W where it is interrupted by a silage pit. The drain or gully through which it flows is probably a fairly recent feature but may follow the line of an earlier fosse; there is no trace of this gully along the N part of the site. The centre of the enclosure is occupied by a fairly well-preserved, circular clochaun KE034-029001-. It measures 4m N-S x 3.8m E-W internally and its corbelled wall is up to 1.8m high. The entrance faces SW and is .75m wide and 1.2m long. Two wall cupboards occur one above the other at NNW. There are also a number of unexplained features in the interior of the enclosure: a stone set on edge 2.8m from the entrance, 3 large boulders lying near the bank at S, a small raised area of stone and earth abutting the bank immediately S of the entrance, and a slightly raised area of grass-covered stone collapse between the entrances to the enclosure and the clochaun.

• KE034-030 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 24m NE-SW, 25.8m NW-SE This roughly circular cashel is one of a series of such settlements located along the lower W slopes of Brandon mountain. The enclosing wall averages 1m in height and 1.5m in width but reaches a maximum external height of 1.7m at W and NW. The lower 2 to 3 courses incorporate fairly large stones, averaging .75m x .45m, while those in the upper courses are considerably smaller, c. 0.25 x .1m. At 3 points around the perimeter there are marked triangular projections, but there is no evidence to suggest that these are not contemporary with the remainder of the wall. To W the wall forms part of the present field boundary system and the field walls in the vicinity do not differ in construction from that of the cashel. A 7.5m wide gap at NE probably housed the original entrance. Its E side is now collapsed and the W side may have been modified as the facing merges, without break, with that of the field wall which extends NNE then E from the enclosure. The ruins of 3 structures are traceable in the interior, all closely grouped in the E half. (1) The interior slopes gently downhill to NW, but the SE sector has been built up slightly, probably to create a level platform for the construction of the stone hut here. The edge of the terrace can be traced for 9.2m from the S wall of the enclosure and is revetted with drystone masonry averaging .5m in height. The outline of the hut, particularly its inner face, is obscured by collapse, but the outer face is traceable along the E half of the structure and for a short distance at W. The wall is a maximum of .9m high internally and 1.35m externally. A small lintelled niche, .45m wide, .5m high and .18m deep, occurs in the inner face at E, .16m above the present ground level. The entrance at NE is represented by a .7m wide gap now faced on its NW side only. (2) A semi-circular structure, 6m in diameter, occurs below the terrace, immediately NW of the hut. Internally the wall stands to a height of 1m but the outer face is less well preserved being only .2m high on average. There is no visible trace of a continuation of the wall to W and it may never have been a full circle. As only 1 hut is shown on the OS maps and mentioned in the OSM, perhaps this is a more recent addition to the site. (3) Between the circular hut and the enclosure wall to S, there is a sub-rectangular area, 4m long, defined to E and W by collapsed walling, to S by the cashel wall and to N by drystone walling, 2 courses high. This may be the remains of another hut. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

• KE034-047004 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  National Monument No. 221. St. Brendan's Well/Tobar Bhréanainn: This lies a little to NW of the previous features and consists simply of a rectangular depression filled with water. Its curative powers were complemented by those of Leac an Droma, a stone which formerly stood on the cliff edge but which has now disappeared. Leaning against this provided relief from rheumatism and back-ache. Ó Danachair (1960, 74-5) recorded the following details about St. Brendan's Well/Tobar Bhréanainn; 'A small well on the summit of Mount Brandon; close by are a ruined oratory, some heaps of stones which are " stations " and a pillar stone named Leac na nDrom. A pilgrimage is made to the mountain top on the 29th of June. Rounds are made about the well and the ruins nine circuits while reciting a rosary. The water is drunk and bottles of it are taken home to those who were unable to make the ascent. Pilgrims suffering from rheumatism and backache obtain relief by leaning against Leac na nDrom. Pins, coins or other small objects are left as offerings. Legends : The well is bottomless. Pilgrims often hear bells on the summit. On one occasion Saint Brendan, officiating on the summit, found that his missal had been forgotten; this was passed up from the mountain foot by the throng of pilgrims from hand to hand. A woman washed her feet in the well and it dried up; an aged and holy bishop was carried up the mountain in a chair to bless the well, and the water flowed again'.
