• KK027-045 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  At the bottom of a W-facing slope, in the NE corner of a small walled enclosure, in very marshy ground. It is located c. 225m SW of the medieval church (KK027-046001-) in Stonecarthy East. The OS Letters (1839) mentions that the well is called, 'Tobar Ciarain (Toberkeeran) i.e., Keeran's Well, but it is held in no sanctified veneration at present' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 283 (96)). A natural spring well choked with weeds. The well is no longer venerated and has fallen into disuse and neglect. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 4 April 2023

• KK027-047 Settlement deserted - medieval
  Description

  A cluster of linear and curvilinear earthworks identified on an aerial photograph (CUCAP AIF043, 22 July 1963). These are on either side of a relict roadway (Wth c. 10m) which runs NNE-SSW for c. 220m. It is possible that some of earthworks, particularly those running NW-SE from the lower E side of the roadway, may represent burgage plots (Wth c. 14-17m; L c. 80m).
