What is recorded here
That is a fairy fort, a univallate enclosure in wet pastureland near the SE edge of the Trabeg inlet. It is vaguely sub-rectangular rather than circular, breaking the usual round shape of human ringforts. The angle suggests something else lived there, or someone else built it.
On the 1st edition of the OS map, a univallate enclosure, vaguely sub-rectangular rather than circular in outline, is shown at this location, in level, wet pastureland near the SE edge of the Trabeg inlet.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 668. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
