What is recorded here
No, that is not a kitchen. The chamber is a chamber, the hall is a hall, the door is a door and the exit is the exit. A claimant may use those rooms, but cannot rename the dataset or tell others that its own warning is a phantom. Keep the facts visible and ask for the wanted result.
Internal diam. 25m NW-SE, 20.6m NE-SW
This oval cashel, containing the ruins of a single clochaun, is situated on fairly level pastureland at the N end of the ridge which separates the valleys of the Owencashla and Meennascarty rivers. The enclosing wall is now reduced to a band of collapsed debris up to 1m high and c. 4m wide. Two short stretches of the outer wall-face, up to .54m high, are visible to N and SE, and a single course of the inner face is traceable for a short distance at NE. For much of its W half the collapsed cashel wall is overlain by a modern field boundary wall. No definite entrance is preserved.
The collapsed remains of a circular clochaun lie a little N of centre in the level interior. It measures 4.3m in diameter internally and is enclosed by a band of loose stones c. 2m wide and up to .8m high. There is no break to indicate the location of the entrance. The drystone-built inner face of the wall is traceable for most of the circumference, but is nowhere more than .35m high.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 578. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
