What is recorded here
Named 'Fort' on the OS Fair Plan and 'Cloghaun' on the 2nd edition of the OS map, this site consists of a small circular enclosure measuring 7 to 8m in diameter internally. It is enclosed by an earthen bank which varies from 2 to 4m in width and from .4 to 1.6m in height and which is revetted intermittently with numerous slabs set upright or on edge. It is situated on a W facing slope at the foot of Ballysitteragh mountain.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1544. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
