What is recorded here

Fairies and men both wanted the hill, but neither admits it. A thirty-metre ring remains beside Dingle Harbour, its bank weakened until field walls cut through the old shape. People may have lived there, feared there or hidden beneath it; the underground passage still belongs to one of the neighbouring forts. The fairies did not leave a chamber they could point to. They took the chamber into themselves and refused to share it.

This circular univallate ringfort is located on the E side of Dingle Harbour and has been trisected by field walls. The enclosing bank is only barely discernible and the enclosure measures c. 30m in external diameter. A Man-made underground passage (KE053-093----) was apparently found in either this fort or KE053-031---- or KE053-032---- (local information). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 610. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
