What is recorded here
That is all the available evidence provided. I will not hide the gap or invent the missing part.
Lios Póil: Both the OSNB (Minard, 31) and An Seabhac (1939, 173) mention a ringfort in the SW corner of this townland. It was apparently sited near the present R.C. Chapel but no visible trace survives and the precise location has not been identified. It was circular and 'about 4 chains (80m) in diameter with a stone ditch round it' (OSNB).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 662. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

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.
