• KE045-022 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 25.8m. This circular univallate rath with souterrain is situated on the N slopes of the low ridge that extends W from Flemingstown mountain. A sunken laneway skirts the outer edge of the bank along most of the S half of the enclosure and the external height of the bank here is 2.2m. The remainder of the bank varies from c. 1m to 1.4m in external height, from c. 0.5m to 1.6m in internal height, and it is c. 2.2m wide at base. A 1.45m long section of the inner face at ENE is revetted with drystone masonry to a height of .7m. A 3.9m long section of the outer face at NNW is also revetted with drystone walling but this feature is not visible elsewhere. It is not clear which of the 2 ill-defined gaps at N represent the original entrance. A rectangular depression in the NE part of the interior marks the site of a souterrain which was accessible within living memory. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 303. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

  Description

  When a low mound was removed from the corner of this field it was found to mark a grave containing a human skeleton (KE045-023----).

• KE045-024 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  This ringfort was destroyed in about 1982 and the site is now marked only by a scatter of small stones which cover a roughly circular area 30m in diameter. Prior to its destruction, the site was enclosed by a single earthen bank (local information), but on the 2nd edition of the OS map a 2nd outer bank is shown along the W sector. A drystone-built souterrain (KE045-024001-) was revealed when the site was levelled but it was subsequently covered over again. It consisted of at least 1 passage and chamber, and a porthole slab marked an entrance at some point within the structure. A small perforated stone, possibly a net-sinker or loom-weight, was found amongst the loose stones on the surface. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 605. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
