Enclosure in Baile Ícín — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

This site was described by Macalister (1899, 282) as a small, almost destroyed lios KE052-062----, measuring 7m in diameter. Three mounds (KE052-062001-, KE052-062002- & KE052-062003-) in the interior marked the foundations of 3 chambers. It was situated on a steep W facing slope overlooking the Blasket Sound and no visible trace survives. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1530. 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.
