Lisroe/An Lios Rua: Situated on a gentle slope on the E side of Gleann na nGealt, univallate rath KE036-065---- contains traces of a hut site (KE036-065001-) and souterrain (KE036-065002-).
A blocked-up opening in the inner face of the ringfort bank at N probably marks the entrance to a souterrain KE036-065002-. A dry stone-faced, lintelled air-vent leads to this from the outer face of the bank. A short distance NE of the ringfort are the foundations of a rectangular house measuring 12.3m ENE-WSW x 5.2m NNW-SSE internally. This is probably post-medieval in origin.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 527. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
