Recorded monuments

• KE036-012 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  The very ruined remains of a cashel situated about 250m S of Tralee Bay. The wall has for the most part been reduced to a band of collapse now partly overlain and obscured by the wall of an irregular modern enclosure. This latter measures c. 28m in internal diameter and surrounds a small plantation of trees. A single course of the outer face of the earlier wall can be traced along most of the E sector and 2 courses are visible at the S end where this section runs into the modern wall. In general it lies c. 2.2 to 4m outside the latter. A couple of possible inner facing stones, located inside the modern wall, indicate a wall thickness of 2.5m; this is somewhat less than the thickness (c. 4m) recorded by the Co. Kerry Field Club (1946). An oval depression in the NW corner of the interior was interpreted by the Field Club as a hut-site but could alternatively be part of a souterrain passage or chamber. It measures 3.3m x 1.4m and is defined by drystone walling, now largely defaced. A section of intact walling forms a rounded angle at the NE corner. A low, stony bank defines the S perimeter but at the SE corner this arcs away from the feature. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 554. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• KE036-015 Cross-inscribed stone
  Description

  Situated on fairly level pastureland, with good, open views in all directions, this standing stone measures 1.91m in height, 1.14m in width at base, narrowing to .76m at top, and .61m in thickness at base, narrowing to .14m at top; ENE-WSW. On the W side a lightly incised cross is enclosed within a roughly executed and irregular oval below which are 3 smaller crosses; on the E side the initial D and a small cross have been carved. These may be of fairly recent origin. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.
