What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on the lower N-facing slopes of Knocknaveacal. This road runs along the lower slopes of the hills between Kenmare and Castletownbere. A grassed-over, disused stretch of this road (Wth 3-4m) runs immediately N of the Cashelkeelty complex of monuments (KE108-013001-, KE108-013002-, KE108-013005-, KE108-013006-). The road is described by Lynch (1981, 65) as the remains of a medieval roadway. Parts of it have been incorporated into the modern road which was built in the mid 1800s. Other sections form part of the 'Beara Way' walking route.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
