What is recorded here

No visible entrance is present at this site. The interior preserves two oval stone house foundations and matching depressions, marking a small domestic settlement rather than an empty shell. The fort stands in an open field where two old fieldbanks still touch its eastern and western edges, embedding the structure within a working landscape. Its unbroken ring and dual dwelling sites suggest a family or kin group lived here across generations, shaping the earth into a defensible home long before modern boundaries were drawn.

Internal diameter 22m N-S, 25m E-W Situated SW of KE020-064---- in the same field, two fieldbanks touch this site on the E and W side. This circular univallate ringfort is enclosed by a well-defined earth and stone bank, 5m wide and rising to an average of 1.9m above the external ground level and 1.5m above the interior. In the N sector of the interior is an oval shaped house site (KE020-063001-) constructed of stone; it is 4.8m N-S and 4.2m E-W, with walls .6m-1m thick. About 2m to the W of this lies a sub-oval house site (KE020-063002-) 3.8m N-S and 4m E-W; the walls here are also .6m-1m thick. Situated directly below the two stone structures are two depressions measuring 4m x 4.8m and 4.8m x 4.6m. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle.
