• KE034-034 Hut site
  Description

  National Monument No. 10065. On lower W slopes of Brandon mountain range. A pair of circular conjoined huts of corbelled drystone construction. N hut KE034-034---- has 3 small wall niches, and a possible blocked entrance at W where the outer face of the wall appears to have been rebuilt. D: 4.3 to 3.9m. H: 1.4m. Lintelled entrance passage from the S hut is 1.04m high, .85m wide and 1.26m long. S hut has a small wall niche at NNE, and an independent, flagged entrance at NW. An L-shaped, drystone-built souterrain (KE034-034001-) opens off the W side of the S hut. The opening is .7m wide x .35m high. The passage extends S for c. 1.2m, then swings SE for 1.1m where it widens out to form a chamber, 2.2m long, 1.01m wide and 1.43m high. The height of the passage gradually increases as the floor slopes downwards from the entrance. Where it meets the chamber it is 1.1m high. A small recess lies .3m above the present floor level in the S wall of the passage. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

• KE034-039 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  National Monument No. 10035. Internal diam. 22.1m This enclosure lies about 130m NE of KE034-041----, and commands an extensive view in all directions from the lower W slopes of Brandon mountain. The circular internal area is enclosed to S by a stone wall which is incorporated into the present field boundary system, and to N by an earthen bank, revetted internally with drystone masonry. The wall is .6m high externally, up to 1.25m high internally and .8m to 1m wide. It rests upon a footing of earth and stone which is probably the remains of the original earthen bank. The earthen bank is a maximum of 2m high externally and the stone facing on its inner flank is not well preserved. It is not clear where the original entrance lay, but at WNW the bank is considerably denuded, and a stone set on edge here could have formed part of an entrance feature. In the interior are the remains of 3 circular stone huts. (KE034-039001-) abuts the enclosure wall at WSW, (KE034-039002-) lies in the SE part of the enclosure, and (KE034-039003-) lies directly N of (KE034-039002-). The sub-rectangular stone structure in the NW part of the enclosure is probably a later animal pen or shelter built with stones robbed from the other huts. (1) (KE034-039001-) Only the W half of this hut survives, i.e. that portion which is incorporated into the enclosure wall. The slightly corbelled wall stands to a maximum height of 1.45m and defines an area 2.7m in diameter. (2) (KE034-039002-) This well-preserved clochaun measures at least 3.7m in internal diameter. The wall is a maximum of 1.6m high externally, but it has collapsed inwards preventing access to the interior; it is 1.25m wide. The structure is built upon a base which extends .75m beyond the wall and which is .5m high. This latter was probably provided to create a level platform for the construction of the hut. (3) (KE034-039003-) Only the E half of this hut survives. It is 5.3m in internal diameter, and the wall is 1.5m wide and up to 1.1m high. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 343.

• KE034-041 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  National Monument No. 10036. Internal diam. 25m. Cathair Fionnúrach is one of a series of cashels and isolated clochauns which occupy the lowermost, W slopes of Brandon mountain. It overlooks the level plain drained by the Feohanagh river but the outlook from the site extends W as far as the Blasket islands. The circular cashel wall is preserved to a maximum height of 1.7m and varies in width from 2.8 to 3.6m. Plans and sections by Westropp (1902, 675) and the OPW (n.d.) indicate up to 3 terraces on the inner face of the wall at E. The presence now of only 1 terrace, for a short stretch along the upper section of the wall face, suggests that either the wall beneath has been rebuilt or that the earlier drawings are incorrect. Portion of the external face and rubble core of the wall have been removed at SE and S and a trackway now skirts this section. In the earlier drawings 2 chambers are shown within the thickness of the wall in this destroyed section. They opened onto the inner face, but the openings have now been blocked up and there is no trace of their location. A small rectangular niche occurs in the NW section of the inner face, .35m above ground level. The entrance passage leading into the enclosure from W is 2.2m wide externally narrowing to 1.5m internally. It is provided with two jamb stones, .8 and .9m high, set at right angles to the side walls at about their mid-point. A slight trench, .2m deep, running inside the cashel wall is probably part of a recent attempt to drain the interior. A pair of conjoined huts are preserved in the interior to a maximum height of 1m. The larger hut is 6.5m in diameter and the entrance is in direct line with that of the main enclosure. Westropp noted a paved pathway leading between the two, but only 3 kerbstones are now visible. The remainder may be preserved beneath the thick deposit of slurry which has accumulated in the interior. The smaller hut is 4.5m in internal diameter. It can be entered from the 1st hut but also has an independent entrance at S. A recess at the base of the ENE wall of the smaller hut formerly provided access to a souterrain which is now blocked. The OPW drawing shows a passage extending 9 feet (2.7m) from this opening towards the centre of the hut. Three steps then descend to a large chamber running at right angles to the passage. This is 20 feet (6m) long, 5 feet (1.5m) wide and 10 feet (3m) high. According to Curran (no. 12), the walls were of drystone construction and inclined inwards towards the flagged roof.

  Description

  'To the east of the cashel [KE034-041----], immediately south of the entrance, are the remains of three cloghauns [KE034-041003-, KE034-041004-, KE034-041005-] roughly in a row, two are conjoined in a figure of eight. A direct relationship between the cloughans and the cashel cannot be discounted' (Gibbons 1998, 81). Reference: Gibbons E. 1998 'Cathair Fionnuragh (Cathair a bhoghasin), Ballynavenooragh' in I.

• KE034-041006 Hut site
  Description

  Cathair Fionnúrach (KE034-041----) is one of a series of cashels and isolated clochauns which occupy the lowermost, W slopes of Brandon mountain. It overlooks the level plain drained by the Feohanagh river but the outlook from the site extends W as far as the Blasket islands. A pair of conjoined huts (KE034-041001- & KE034-041006-) are preserved in the interior to a maximum height of 1m. The smaller hut (KE034-041006-) is 4.5m in internal diameter. It can be entered from the 1st hut but also has an independent entrance at S. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.
