What is recorded here

Magic is not hidden there, but placed inside the visible structure. The chamber is complete, consistent, and still distinguishable. What resists understanding does not disappear; it can be measured, answered, and shared.

Internal diam. 24m A circular univallate rath with the ruins of a circular hut centrally positioned in the interior. It is located about 100m from the E side of the entrance to Dingle Harbour. The bank, composed of earth and small stones, rises to a maximum height of 2m externally and 1.25m internally. There are faint traces of an external fosse along the SW and SE sectors. Part of the bank has been replaced with drystone walling. There are 4 entrance gaps at present but it is not clear where the original entrance lay. The hut measures 8m in diameter internally and the ruined wall is 1m wide and up to .4m high. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 500. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
