Enclosure in An Bhinn Bhán (corca Dhuibhne) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Enclosure in An Bhinn Bhán is a small circular fort on the Dingle Bay coast, preserved in local memory rather than formal history. Its stone and earth bank still stands beside dense vegetation, marking a place where people may have watched the sea, stored tools, or simply belonged to the landscape. The surrounding area has changed repeatedly, yet this quiet circle remains visible enough to be remembered and recorded.

Situated on level ground on the summit of the low rise that borders Dingle Bay between the entrances to Dingle Harbour and Trabeg, this site consists of a small, slightly raised circular area, 4m in diameter, enclosed by a bank measuring .75m in height and lm in width. The dense vegetation prevents a close examination of the bank but it appears to be composed of both stone and earth. There is a possible entrance at N. The site is known locally as a fort. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1532. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 5 August 2013
