• KE037-015 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  The estuary of the Finglas river is bounded to E and W by cliffs up to 50 feet/15m high. On the E side, c. 50m from the river and now c. 100m S of the present HWM, is a small triangular promontory measuring 29 x 30m. To N and S it is defended by sheer cliffs and to E by an earthen bank and possible fosse. It is known locally as An Dún (An Seabhac 1939, 294). The bank is 1.4m high internally and 2m high externally and it averages 4m in width at base. An 8m wide gap between its S end and the cliff edge may represent the entrance. A shallow depression, up to .15m deep, runs outside the N half of the bank. The ruined remains of a drystone wall skirting the edge of the promontory may be a more recent feature. An Seabhac mentions a souterrain leading from the interior to the adjacent field. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

• KE037-016 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 18m Lissabranner/Lios an Bhranair: A circular enclosure, situated on a S facing slope overlooking Tralee Bay. The enclosing wall measures 1.5m in height and .8m in width and is similar in construction to adjacent field boundaries. The lack of an entrance gap, and the presence of mortar in places, suggests that the wall has been re-built in modern times, at least in part, and it is possible that the wall is entirely modern, though following the line of an earlier cashel. The interior is occupied by a small plantation of sycamore trees. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 582. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013

• KE037-017 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 21m E-W, c. 22.8m N-S Lissadavdarrig/Lios an Daimh Deirg: Situated on a very gentle N facing slope about 265m from the S shore of Tralee Bay. The cashel wall which enclosed the roughly oval interior is now reduced to a band of debris in which some few stretches of the inner and outer face are visible. The inner face is generally no more than a single course high. An average of 2 to 3 courses of the outer face are visible at the top of the mound of collapse, but there is a possibility that this represents later rebuilding and not the original wall. The wall width indicated by the present remains is only 1.2m. An ill-defined gap at S may mark the location of the entrance. The only features in the interior are a small horseshoe-shaped depression, .25m deep, and 2 blocked-up openings which formerly provided access to a souterrain (local information). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 583.

• KE037-022 Rock art (present location)
  Description

  This irregularly-shaped boulder formerly lay on the strand at the base of the low cliffs that border the S side of Tralee Bay (see KE037-084----). It is very likely that the stone may have fallen to this position from the land above due to erosion of this area by the sea. The boulder is described by Cuppage (1986, 63, no. 186) as measuring 1.05m x 0.94m x 0.35m in maximum thickness. The upper surface is divided roughly in two, along its E-W axis, by a combination of a natural ridge and a pocked line. Above this to S are about 36 cup-marks varying in diameter from 0.02 to 0.09m. At the W edge of this concentration are 2 parallel oval cups and a third less well-defined sub-oval depression. On the N portion of the stone the motifs are less densely distributed. They consist of at least 9 cup-marks and 2 parallel oval depressions from one of which a long groove extends W for 0.32m. The stone was moved to its present location in October 1997 (SMR file).

Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), 63, no. 186. Updated by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 10 November 2014 On a level grass-covered road margin of N86 Castlegregory-Tralee road at Camp, to E of roadside car park (33m OD) and opposite Fitzgerald’s public house (The Junction Bar). An ex-situ stone moved from its original location (KE037-084----) on edge of Tralee Bay at Killelton (Corkaguiny By.) in October 1997 (SMR file). A smooth and fractured sandstone (dims. 0.98m WSW-ENE; 0.94m NNW-SSE; max. H 0.40m) with an irregular shaped, flat decorated surface (dims. 0.98m WSW-ENE; 0.94m NNW-SSE). The decorated surface is divided into two distinct areas by a natural ridge and a pocked line. The motifs are clearly traceable and consist of approximately thirty eight cupmarks (diam. 3-8cm; D 3-9mm) concentrated to one side of the pocked line. The deepest cupmark (diam. 5.5cm; D 15mm) is located at the highest part of the decorated surface. Approximately nine cupmarks occur on the other side of the pocked line, along with two parallel oval depressions, one of which has a linear groove (L c. 0.3m) that extends to W.

• KE037-087 Souterrain
  Description

  The opening to the souterrain measures 0.7m by 0.5m and drops 0.45m into a low narrow passage on average 0.7m by 0.6m. The passage is constructed of dry stone walling and roofed with stone lintels. It runs to the south for approximately 23m in a relatively straight line but the passage is very narrow and low making exploration of the passage difficult. The passage is further narrowed at two points along its visible length through the use of roofing lintels that project into the passage creating in effect a creep like feature. There are lots of stone cobbles on the floor of the passage clearly derived from the adjacent shore. The exposed opening is at the extreme northern end of the souterrain as a water derived gully has developed outside the opening to the north and the curved end of the passage can be seen in the gully.

• KE037-088 Enclosure
  Description

  A souterrain was reported Dr. Michael Connolly, County Archaeologist, Kerry Co. Co., on June 3rd 2015 by a walker who had seen the opening above Camp Beach (ITM 47032 610294) while walking his dog. The opening to the souterrain measures 0.7m by 0.5m and drops 0.45m into a low narrow passage on average 0.7m by 0.6m. The passage is constructed of dry stone walling and roofed with stone lintels. It runs to the south for approximately 23m in a relatively straight line but the passage is very narrow and low making exploration of the passage difficult. The passage is further narrowed at two points along its visible length through the use of roofing lintels that project into the passage creating in effect a creep like feature. There are lots of stone cobbles on the floor of the passage clearly derived from the adjacent shore. The exposed opening is at the extreme northern end of the souterrain as a water derived gully has developed outside the opening to the north and the curved end of the passage can be seem in the gully. An Seabhac recorded a souterrain associated with this small promontory fort known as An Dún but no trace of the souterrain was visible during the course of the Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey in the early 1980s (Cuppage et al. 1986). Nonetheless this is unlikely to be associated with this promontory for given the distance between the two monuments and the fact that the passage runs north-south and not towards the west. It may however be the souterrain reported to An Seabhac by locals in the 1930s, which they believed to be associated with An Dún. A review of aerial photography suggest that there was an unrecorded enclosure approximately 27m to the north of the souterrain site and this would be ideally placed to have been associated with the passage.
