• KE033-013001 Standing stone
  Description

  Situated on the lower NW slopes of Reenconnell, this low standing stone, roughly rectangular in plan and elevation, measures 1.07m high x .56m wide NW-SE x a maximum of .27m thick. It is located 1.9m E of, and was formerly separated by a field fence from the remains of a circular hut site (KE033-013002-). Its proximity to these remains may indicate a connection, but at present it is free standing and has no obvious structural function. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

• KE033-016001 Church
  Description

  Situated on the NW slopes of Reenconnell, overlooking the level plain drained by the Feohanagh river, this site is known locally as a burial ground (KE033-016002-) and is reputed to be the church site (KE033-016001-) from which the townland derived its name. Large quantities of stone have been removed from the site in the past (local information) and little of the enclosure remains. A field wall bisects the site N-S, and on its W side the enclosure survives as a low semi-circular platform. On its E side the enclosure is represented by an irregular terrace, defined to N and S by low scarps and to E by a modern field wall. The lower courses of the latter are constructed with large boulders which may represent part of the original enclosing wall. The overall area thus defined measures 37.5m E-W x 28.8m N-S. The grave mounds formerly visible in the interior do not survive (local information). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

  Description

The grave mounds formerly visible in the interior do not survive (local information). Souterrain (KE033-016004-): The entrance to a drystone-built souterrain, apparently Z-shaped in plan, lies on the E side of the dividing wall. A sloping ramp leads from the surface to the E end of a short passage which extends WSW for 1.52m. This passage is 1.02m high, 1.14m wide and is roofed by 3 slabs. A 2nd passage extends SSE from the W end of the 1st, the entrance being marked by a lintelled opening defined on each side by an upright slab which projects .2m out from the passage walls. The opening measures .67m in height x .42m in width, and the lintel lies .24m below the roof, the intervening space being left open. The 2nd passage is 3.29m long and 1.12 to 1.34m high and is roofed by 4 large slabs. At its S end it curves around to continue SW for 1.42m, at which point there is a 2nd lintelled doorway, similar to the 1st but now blocked. The opening here measures .55m in height and .34m in width. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

• KE033-019 Souterrain
  Description

  A souterrain passage opens onto the face of a steep N facing hillslope much broken with rock outcrop and scree. The site commands an extensive view over the wide plain drained by the Feohanagh River. Advantage may have been taken of a natural rock fissure to construct the level passage, roofed by a series of flat slabs, which runs into the hill for c. 2m in a S direction and then veers slightly SW for the remainder of its length. The side walls, formed by upright slabs, some overlain by 1 or 2 courses of dry-masonry, define an area 5m in length, .82m in maximum width and .7m in maximum height. The passage decreases in height and width towards the S and the innermost section is inaccessible due to its small dimensions. The entrance is formed simply by the northernmost sidestones and roofing slab; this latter is overlain externally by 4 or 5 courses of very loosely-positioned stones which appear to have no structural function. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 776.
