What is recorded here
This site is marked on the first edition of the OS map as a circular enclosure. It was located on sloping pastureland on Valencia Island, which commands a fine view along the length of the Portmagee Channel. No surface trace of the site survives and it is not remembered locally.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 783. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
