Enclosure

What is recorded here

A small sub-circular enclosure situated on the S slopes of Mullaghmore mountain, overlooking Castlemaine Harbour. It measures 7 to 8m NW-SE x 5.8m NE-SW internally, and the earthen enclosing bank averages .9m in height internally and .7m externally. The entrance at SE is lined on its S side by a stone set on edge. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1533. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 5 August 2013
