Reennafardarrig: this is a small island, 7 acres in extent, lying off the NE side of Illauntannig. The remains of an oval hut (KE019-001001-) are located at the centre and highest point of the island. It measures c. 3.2m E-W x 4.9m N-S interally and the wall is reduced to grass-grown foundations only a few cms high. The entrance was located in the W sector. A large boulder, 2.7m long, lies at the WNW side of the structure and may have been incorporated into its wall. Disused field walls (KE019-001003-) lead away N and SE from the hut towards the shore. These are now no more than lines of disconnected upright slabs. The Co. Kerry Field Club (1942, 299) noted a small cross and other linear markings on a sandstone boulder (KE019-001002-) on the island but this was not located on this occasion.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 843. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
