What is recorded here

Liscallee/Lios Caillí (?): This rath, marked as a bivallate enclosure on the OS maps, was levelled in the early 1980s during land reclamation operations. Cooke recorded that it had a 'double rampart and deep ditch' and that there was a 'choked entrance to a Man-made underground passage (KE065-055001-) in its interior (1906, 5). It was located on a small hill overlooking the Gaddagh river to W. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 655.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KE065-055

Castle Core (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Core in Dromaloughane belonged to the Macgillycuddy's of the Reeks, a very fancy name for a tower house. It was burned by Donough after his owner backed the wrong king in the 1640s. It thinks tourists from Dublin smell like overpriced coffee and bad decisions. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Explorer Tom Churchtown House in Churchtown is caught in a feud between two families over who owns the view. It’s got sash windows that open with a dramatic sigh. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Explorer Tom This Japanese pagoda tree in County Kerry has had more names than I’ve had jobs, and half of them are wrong. It loves gossip and hates being ignored. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

European Yew3.3 mi

Explorer Tom A European Yew in County Kerry hosted a dance that ended with someone stuck in the branches. The locals still whisper about the noise. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
