What is recorded here
An Bhánóg Theas holds a possible hut on a south-facing slope above a small valley. A man-made underground passage and a low L-shaped bank still mark the ground, yet their exact purpose remains uncertain. The site may have served as a hidden shelter or a forgotten home, preserving a brief human life inside the quiet Dingle landscape.
KE044-047---- is located on a S facing slope at the head of a small valley, about 250m E of KE044-046----.
Ashe noted a Man-made underground passage (KE044-047001-) in the interior. A low, L-shaped bank in the NE sector may be related to this, and a 2nd raised area between the latter and the ringfort bank may mark a hut-site (KE044-047002-). However, neither feature can be interpreted with certainty.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 347. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
