National Monument No. 10045. Rahinnane Castle (KE042-135002-)
Grass-covered foundations immediately S of the castle may represent the remains of KE042-135003-; defaced stony footings survive to a maximum height of c. 1m and outline a rectangular building c. 22m WSW-ENE x c. 12m NNW-SSE. The entrance was probably situated in the E wall and appears to have been fitted with a forebuilding. An ancillary chamber lies at the SW end of the main building. There are also slight traces of a possible building to W of the castle.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 518. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
