Enclosure in An Baile Dubh

Enclosure

What is recorded here

There are no visible remains of the circular enclosure marked on the OS maps. The circular, level platform which marked the site until recently was levelled in 1983. It was situated on a NW facing slope at the lower N end of the ridge which separates the Glennahoo and Scorid rivers. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 619. 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.
