What is recorded here

This site is marked on the 2nd edition of the OS map as a univallate enclosure truncated to SW by a field fence so that only the NE half survived; it was probably originally oval rather than circular. Both the field fence and the enclosure have now been levelled. It was situated on the W bank of a tributary of the Finglas river, at the foot of a steep SE facing slope. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 657.
