- KE044-007 Cairn - unclassified
Description
Cuchullin's House/Tigh Chúchulainn: Two hill-top cairns stand 1 mile (c. 1.6 kilometres) apart on the summit of the E-W ridge which separates Lough Anscaul and the Anascaul valley, on the S side of the Dingle Peninsula, from Glanteenassig on the N side. This is the westernmost and larger of the two. The disused wall which runs E-W, directly N of the cairn, marks the boundary between the parishes of Killiney and Ballinvoher. A meandering line of orthostats and prostrate slabs extends E from the cairn, c. 20m S of the parish boundary, for a distance of c. 200m. These may also have formed part of a boundary wall but it is also possible that they are in some way associated with the cairn. The circular cairn is c. 23m in overall diameter and 5m high. Short sections of a drystone retaining wall are preserved at E and W, to a height of 1m. The original diameter was c. 15m but the material of the cairn has now spread about 3 to 5m beyond the retaining wall. A large depression in the summit of the cairn measures 6m in diameter. A smaller pit at one side of this may result from an attempt to investigate the contents of the cairn. At least 16 upright or prostrate stones are incorporated into the row of stones which extends E from the cairn. The uprights range from 1.58m to .4m in height and the prostrate slabs from .85 to 2m in length. There is an overall decrease in size from W to E and the tallest, westernmost stone has a tiny cross carved on its S face. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

- KE044-008 Field boundary
Description
This record was formerly classed as a stone alignment in the SMR and RMP (1997). It consists of a meandering line (L c. 200m) of orthostats and prostrate slabs, extending E from the cairn (KE044-007----), c. 20m S of the boundary between Killiney and Ballinvoher parishes. Described by Cuppage (1986, 70, no. 221) as follows; 'Cuchullin's House/Tigh Chúchulainn: Two hill-top cairns stand 1 mile (c. 1.6 kilometres) apart on the summit of the E-W ridge which separates Lough Anscaul and the Anascaul valley, on the S side of the Dingle Peninsula, from Glanteenassig on the N side.

- KE044-011 Standing stone
Description
The 'Gallaun' marked on the OS maps, c. 450m SW of KE044-013----, no longer survives. It was '7 feet (2.1m) high'(OSM). At approximately the same location there is a long, low and densely overgrown mound of earth and stones, with several large, possible kerb stones along the perimeter. It measures at least 14m E-W, and is 10m wide and .8m high at the W end decreasing in both width and height towards the E. A depression is visible on the upper surface. The small cairn of stones to SW of its W end may simply be the result of field clearance. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

- KE044-012 Souterrain
Description
On the lower S facing slopes of the central mountain range, a little E of Lough Anscaul, a large, irregular mound of stone and earth, 18m long E-W and 10m wide, overlies an extensive souterrain. It consists of 2 passages, T-shaped in plan, and a now inaccessible oval chamber linked to the N side of the E passage by a short alcove or ante-chamber. The present entrance lies at the base of the SW edge of the mound. Here there is a .3m high gap beneath the S roof slab of a passage which extends NNW for at least 9.5m and which averages c. 1.1m in width; both ends are reduced in height by an accumulation of earth and stones, the N end being completely blocked. The side walls are constructed of upright slabs, up to .8m high, overlain by drystone walling which inclines slightly inwards reducing the passage width, at roof level, to c. 0.8m on average. An upright slab, immediately N of the entrance to passage 2, extends the full height of the passage and is set inside the general line of the wall. The roof slabs step gradually upwards towards the N end, and a backfilled pit on the surface immediately beyond may mark the location of an entrance or of portion of a collapsed passage or chamber. The greatest passage height, 1.45m, occurs opposite the undifferentiated entrance to passage 2 which opens from the E wall of passage 1 at roughly its mid-point. Of similar construction to the latter, passage 2 is 1.2m wide, 1.2m high and 6m long E-W; the E end wall is formed by a single, large slab. 0.25m from the E end of the N wall an alcove or ante-chamber, 1.2m long N-S, .85m wide and 1m high, is reached by a step up of .45m from the passage. At this point the N half of the passage roof is raised by c. 0.5m to the same level as that in the alcove; the final roof slab again reduces the passage height to its normal level. The alcove, constructed of a combination of drystone walling and upright slabs, is roofed by 2 slabs. The single slab forming the N end wall has a neatly-cut arch, .33m wide and .43m high, at ground level which provides access to an oval chamber, 2.3m long N-S, 1m wide and a maximum of 1.35m high. The floor of this latter is considerably raised by earth and stone fill. Immediately inside the entrance, resting against the debris in an almost upright position, is a slab, .6m high and .4m wide, which may formerly have been used as a closing stone and which now effectively prevents access. The outline of the chamber, roofed by 5 flat slabs resting on the corbelled drystone walls, is only sketched in on the accompanying plan. In the NE corner, just below the roof, is what may be an air-vent. In passage 2 the upright slab immediately W of the ante-chamber has a centrally positioned hour-glass perforation 4.5cm in diameter.

- KE044-015 Ringfort - rath
Description
This ringfort was not marked on the OS maps and has now been destroyed. It was a circular enclosure, about 40 feet (12m) in diameter, with an earthen bank but no fosse (local information). It was located within a farmyard in Dromavally village. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

- KE044-016 Ringfort - rath
Description
Internal diam. 29m E-W, 34m N-S Lisnadromin/Lios na Dromann: This univallate ringfort is located about 150m W of KE044-017----, on a S facing slope at the foot of the central mountain ridge. It is bisected E-W by a field fence and both sections are very poorly preserved. The S half consists of a level platform which rises a maximum of 1.75m above the external ground level. The NW quadrant is defined by an earth and stone bank, less than .5m high and c. 0.75m wide. The bank along the NE quadrant has been largely obscured by upcast from a drain which skirts its outer edge. The only features visible in the interior are 2 parallel lines of stones which run southwards from the field fence. These define an area 5.5m long x 1.5m wide and could possibly be part of a souterrain. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

- KE044-017 Ringfort - rath
Description
Internal diam. 32m N-S (estimated), 24m E-W Lissanillaun/Lios an Oileáin: A univallate rath situated about 150m E of Lisnadromin (KE044-016----), on a S facing slope at the foot of the central mountain ridge. Both the bank and fosse have been levelled in the SE quadrant of the enclosure. The bank is 2m high externally, 1.5m high internally and c. 3m wide. The fosse is a maximum of 1.75m deep and is 4m wide. The low stone wall which skirts the outer edge of the fosse in the W sector appears to be a later feature. The causewayed entrance at N is 3m wide. The SE sector of the enclosure appears to have been removed to accomodate a series of 4 rectangular house foundations which occupy the interior. A later wall also extends a short distance to SE from the E end of the bank and then angles to run SW, as if forming a boundary or garden wall to replace the original bank. The foundations vary in size from 16m x 4m to 6.5m x 3.5m, and all are aligned N-S. As the enclosure is complete on the OS maps, and as these house-sites are not shown, they are probably post-1894 in date. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

- KE045-019 Ringfort - rath
Description
Internal diam. 19.5m This circular univallate rath is densely overgrown and could not be inspected in any great detail. It lies in poor, wet pastureland on a gentle E facing slope overlooking the valley of a tributary of the Owenascaul river. The external fosse is c. 3.4m wide at base and 1.2m deep below the external ground level. A field fence skirts its outer edge along the SE and S sectors. The earthen bank is a maximum of 3m high externally and c. 0.9m high internally. Drystone facing occurs intermittently along its inner face. The entrance consists of a c. 1.2m wide gap in the bank at SE. The fosse is not clearly defined in this area and no causeway is discernible. A single stone set on edge on the NE side of the entrance suggests that the latter may formerly have been faced with drystone walling. Two low, crescent-shaped banks of stone in the interior may be the remains of 2 huts. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.
