What is recorded here

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-). The Co. Kerry Field Club (1946, 670) recorded a large circular stone hut to W of the ringfort but no visible trace of this survives. 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.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
