What is recorded here

KE044-057---- is the northernmost of a pair of univallate raths set 2.6m apart on a very gentle S facing slope which commands an excellent view in all directions. Much of the interior is occupied by the ruins of 2 large rectangular houses. (1) (KE044-057001-) The northernmost measures 9.8m E-W x 3.5m N-S internally and the walls are for the most part reduced to stony mounds. However, a single course of the inner and outer wall faces can be traced at a couple of points along the S wall and these indicate a wall thickness of 1.1m. There are opposed entrances in the N and S walls. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 381. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
