What is recorded here
A small circular enclosure situated on the lower S slopes of Mount Eagle, overlooking Dingle Bay. It lies c. 50m W of Cathair na Máirtíneach (KE052-249----) and c. 75m NE of a very similar enclosure (KE052-251----). It measures 9m in diameter internally and the enclosing wall stands to a maximum height of 1.5m; the dilapidated state of the wall makes it difficult to estimate its original thickness. The 1.5m wide entrance gap at E is defined by upright slabs.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1541. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
