Recorded monuments

• KE036-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 28m Situated on fairly level ground on the S edge of the level coastal strip that borders Tralee Bay, this site consists of a semi-circular arc of bank now planted with trees and densely overgrown. The bank of earth and stone survives to a height of .35m internally, .65m externally and averages 4m in width. Though the enclosure was probably originally circular, the bank is not traceable along the W sector. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 359. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE036-038 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 23m E-W, 20m N-S Lios na nGamhan: A roughly circular cashel with souterrain situated on a N facing slope overlooking Tralee Bay. The level interior is enclosed by a low, grass-grown bank of loose stones. A large, horizontally-laid slab at S may be the only visible remnant of the inner wall-face. The bank is very dilapidated and is only a maximum of .7m high internally and an average of .35m high externally, though the external height increases to 1.6m on the downslope side; it is from 2 to 4m in width. A disused laneway running NE-SW along the SE edge of the site has obliterated the bank in this sector. A souterrain located a little WNW of centre in the interior is now only partially accessible. The removal of a roofing slab has revealed a drystone-built oval chamber but an accumulation of earth and stones beneath the present opening prevents easy access. The chamber measures 2.5m NW-SE x 1.15m NE-SW. The walls incline inwards slightly thus narrowing the chamber to .85m at the level of the 4 roof slabs, c. 0.9m above the present floor level. A .7m wide opening in the SW wall provided access to a drystone-built passage which led away to NW, but this is now completely blocked by collapse after c. 1m. The opening is filled in to within .29m of its lintel which lies .2m below the roof of the main chamber. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 553. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
