What is recorded here

Culleeny Beg holds a thirty-four-metre earthen ring on a NW-facing slope, its stone-and-earth bank still standing one metre inside and sixteen outside. Someone raised the northern floor half a metre above the hill to keep the storm out, then cut a two-and-a-half-metre gap at NNW for entry. A shallow depression marks the west sector like a forgotten hearth or well. The fairies may have taken the name, but the measurements belong to human hands shaping a home against the Kerry wind.

In pasture, on a NW-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 34m) defined by a bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.6m) of earth and stone NE-N and by a lower bank (Wth 8.1m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.85m) N-NE. The N portion of the interior is raised (H 1.55m) above the external ground level to compensate for the hillslope. A depression (diam. 1.5m; D 0.4m) is visible in the W sector. There is an entrance (Wth c. 2.5m) at NNW. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
