What is recorded here
Doonroe/An Dún Rua lies at the foot of Mount Brandon between 2 narrow inlets of the sea, Coosatna and Coosavuddig (Brandon Creek).
There is no trace of the enclosure KE034-001002- noted by Westropp as abutting the wall about 35 feet (c. 10.7m) from the entrance.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 265. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
