- KE043-210 Ringfort - rath
Description
Internal diam. 20.4m N-S, 23.1m E-W A univallate rath situated on the W side of Dingle Harbour, in fairly level pastureland about 125m from Owenlisaduneela stream. The circular interior is enclosed by a single bank, with faint traces of a fosse along the S sector. The latter is only a few cms deep and c. 1.5m wide. The bank is .9 to 1.61m high internally, 1.45 to 1.9m high externally and 1.34 to 1.81m wide at base. For most of its circumference it is revetted internally and externally with poorly-constructed drystone walling, and section of the bank in the W sector has been reduced to a low mound now overlain by a wall entirely of drystone construction. A 2.5m wide entrance gap at NE has been blocked with drystone walling. A 2nd gap at SE measures 2.25m in width and is defined to E by a modern gate-pillar. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 506.

- KE043-211 Ecclesiastical site
Description
Kilbrack/An Chill Bhreac: The burial ground (KE043-211001-) here was used for the burial of unbaptised children until the 19th century (OSNB Dingle, book 2, 8). It is situated on a very gentle S facing slope overlooking Dingle Harbour, and consists of a sub-rectangular enclosure, 58m E-W x 27m N-S internally, which is bounded on its W, N and E sides by modern stone field fences and on its S side by a low wall, with a stone and earth core, no more than .6m high. The burial area occupies a central position within the enclosure and consists of a slightly raised, irregularly-shaped area occupied by a profusion of low upright stones, aligned N-S, and a few very low cairns of stones. Standing loosely in one of these cairns is a cross-inscribed stone (KE043-211002-) measuring .88m in height x .15m in width. One face is inscribed with a cross with expanded terminals, the left arm now completely removed by spalling and the upper arm only partially preserved. In the E part of the enclosure, at the E end of a low stone and earth mound, is a stone feature resembling the large cist graves at Coumduff (KE044-019----). It is formed by 3 stones set on edge, .7 to .9m in height, but does not appear to be complete. A kink in the field wall to SE of the latter feature may mark the site of a clochaun (KE043-211003-) but the only evidence for this is the slight corbelling of the wall face at this point. The only other features visible in the interior are several low banks or mounds of earth and stones, stone faced in parts. Some of these appear to delimit the burial area but the function of the others is uncertain, though it is possible that they may be the remains of houses. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 869.

- KE043-213 Standing stone - pair
Description
This pair of standing stones is the northernmost element in a complex of megalithic monuments which are grouped at the SE end of the townland of Milltown (formerly Kilbrack), less than 1/2km W of where the Milltown river flows into Dingle Harbour. About 50m to S are 2 large recumbent stones (KE043-214----), one of which bears a variety of rock art motifs on its upper surface. Gallán na Cille Brice (KE043-215----) stands about 30m further to SW, and on the S side of the main road, c. 250m SSW again, is another standing stone (KE053-004----). Macalister (1898b, 164) reports that 'at least one other gallán was destroyed in this district when the present road was made in 1822'. Up until recently the pair of standing stones stood 1.4m apart in a NE-SW line; the NE stone now lies prostrate. Prior to its collapse, it stood 2.2m high and measured 1.5m x .6m at base (Ó Nualláin 1978b, 67). The SW stone, now .79m high, was 1.5m high in 1898 (Macalister, 161), and appears to have broken across the top. A loose stone, lying beside it and measuring 1m long x .22m high, is probably the missing fragment. Known locally as Geataí na Glóire (the Gates of Glory or Paradise). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 64. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 54/1937).
- KE043-214 Rock art
Description
Two prostrate stones lie within 50m of a pair of standing stones (KE043-213----) and within 20m of a tall standing stone (KE043-215----), on gently sloping pastureland on the N side of Dingle Harbour. The W stone measures 3.25m x 1.4m x .5m thick and bears no markings. The 2nd stone measures 4.2m x 1.25m x .6m thick. On its sloping E face the decoration, with the exception of a single cup-and-circle, is confined to the broad N end. At least 18 isolated cup-marks are distributed randomly about the decorated area, while 8 cup-and-circles occur along the upper portion of the stone. One of the circles spirals slightly, and most are provided with radial lines which follow the downward slope of the face. Beneath these is a complex grouping of cup-marks and straight and curved lines, some of the lines joining up to enclose cup-marks. Three further cup-marks occur at the N edge of the WSW face. Ó Nualláin (1978b, 68) suggests that both these stones may have fallen from an upright position, and Finlay (1973, 9-10) points out that the decoration is likely to have been added subsequent to this as the linear grooves follow the downward slope of the E face. The inclusion of this site in a list of cist-graves by Simpson and Thawley appears to arise from some confusion with another site (Shee 1972, 233). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 191. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 54/1937). In improved rough pasture (26m OD), on a very gentle ENE-facing slope, c. 20m to N of Dingle-Ventry regional route (R559). Good view of Dingle Harbour to SE. Reasonably good condition, although obscured by white and grey lichens; Stone appears damaged on underside at N end. Smooth and unfractured, prostrate sandstone (dims. 4.10m N-S; 1.75m E-W; max. T 1.20m) with an irregular decorated surface (dims. 3.00m N-S; 0.90m E-W) having an E-facing aspect. The motifs occupy the northern half of the stone with the exception of an isolated cup-and-ring motif (overall diam. 18cm; ring Wth 3.5-4cm; D 3mm; cup diam. 7.5cm; D 1cm) toward the S end. The main decorated area bears at least twenty-five cup-marks (average diam. 5-7cm; D 4-8mm), two of which are incorporated into a more complex decorative element of intersecting linear and curvilinears grooves in the centre of the stone. Seven cup-and-one-ring motifs are located along the upper portion of the stone, one of which has a penannular ring open to W. Three of these have radial grooves (long-axis E-W) which extend downslope, to E and the ring around another, takes the form of a spiral. Two of the cup-and-ring motifs are conjoined by a curvilinear groove. The best preserved cup-and-ring motif (overall diam. 18cm; ring Wth 2cm; D 3mm; cup diam. 9.5cm; D 4mm) is on upper portion of decorated surface. According to Cuppage (1986, 57, 64-65), Ó Nualláin (1978b, 68) suggests that both these stones may have fallen from an upright position, and Finlay (1973, 9-10) points out that the decoration is likely to have been added subsequent to this as the linear grooves follow the downward slope of the E face. A second prostrate stone (dims. 3.25m N-S; 1.4m E-W; max. T 0.5m) adjacent to W, bears no markings. A single standing stone (KE043-215----) is c. 20m to SW and a pair of standing stones (KE043-213----) are c. 50m to N.

- KE043-215 Standing stone
Description
Gallán na Cille Brice or the Milestone stands c. 70m SW of the pair of standing stones known as Geataí na Glóire (KE043-213----). It is roughly rectangular in elevation and measures 2.8m in height and c. 1.38m in width; ENE-WSW. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

- KE043-216 Ringfort - rath
Description
Internal diam. 44.3m Lisnaboonsee/Lios na bhFonsaí: Situated on fairly level ground at the NW side of Dingle Harbour. This is a circular univallate rath, enclosed by an earthen bank, with an external fosse visible only in the W quadrant. The latter is c. 1.2m wide and no more than .2m deep. The bank is a maximum of 1.5m high externally and 1.26m high internally, but much of the E half of the site is defined merely by a scarp which falls 1.5m from the interior to the external ground level. Some stones are present in the faces of the bank in the N sector, but there is no definite evidence for revetment walling. Breaks in the bank occur at NNW, SE and W, but it is not clear where the original entrance lay. The large oval mound of stones which occupies the centre of the interior is probably a field clearance cairn. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

Description
About 250m SSW of Gallán na Cille Brice, this stone, tilting slightly N, stands 2.85m high and measures 1.1m x .7m at base; E-W. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

- KE053-005 Ringfort - rath
Description
This roughly circular univallate enclosure is located on level ground about 100m from the N shore of Dingle Harbour. The earthen enclosing bank is faced with stone and stands 1m in height. There are possible traces of an external fosse along the N part of the enclosure. It is 2m wide and c. 0.6m deep. A possible entrance in the ESE sector is defined on its S side by a large, horizontally-laid slab. Dense vegetation for the most part prevents access to the interior, but a dense scatter of grass-grown stones is discernible in the NE sector. The enclosure measures c. 32m in diameter externally. Curran (no. 11) noted a small mound about 46 paces from the site. This apparently resembled the remains of a structure and contained the entrance to an underground passage. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 508.
