- KE029-108 Ringfort - rath
Description
'Located in an area of reclaimed and improved land but abutting rougher land to the south. This site affords excellent views to the south and south-west, along the length of the Sliabh Mis and west towards Tralee Bay. This unusual site is composed of an earthen bank 3.3m wide at base and 0.85m in average height, enclosing a distinctly a distinctly oval area 41m NNE-SSW and 32m E-W. There is an opening in the bank to the east measuring 3.8m in width but it is not certain that this is original, though given that it is the only definitive break in the bank it is probably the site of the original entrance. There is no clear trace of an external ditch, though the land around it has been cleared and reclaimed right up the enclosing bank, except to the south and this may have removed any trace of a possible external ditch. However, it is worthy of note that the OS 6" map representations of the site do not show a ditch. Internally the site is very uneven with numerous low mounds and undulations which may represent internal structures, though no clear pattern could be discerned. This site is very similar in size and general shape to the stone enclosure [KE028-090----] in Kerries West.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co.

Description
'Located in gently sloping land affording good views to the southern half of the compass and of the Stacks Mountains to the east, this site is cut by a modern field wall to the south. To the north of this wall the C-shaped crop mark of an in-filled ditch is clearly visible, the open side of the C terminating at the modern field wall.

The crop mark as visible measures approximately 40m N-S 9to the field wall) and 43m E-W.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co.
