What is recorded here

No visible trace remains of the Cnoc Na Habha ringfort, yet a 1949 aerial photograph captured its univallate line on level ground above Dingle Harbour. The earth forgot the fort before people stopped drawing it.

There is no visible trace of this monument which was situated on level ground overlooking Dingle Harbour. It was shown on the 1st edition of the OS map with the symbol for a large mound, but it was named 'Fort' on the Fair Plan and appears as a univallate enclosure on an aerial photograph taken in 1949 (Ministry of Defence, V. 158/110). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 716. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
