What is recorded here

An Rinn Bhuí holds a circular hut inside a larger ringfort, its narrow entrance aligned directly with the main gateway. The structure measures 5.7m by 3.5m, suggesting a deliberate domestic or ceremonial purpose rather than a temporary shelter. Its position on elevated ground overlooking Trabeg implies occupants valued both defence and view. The alignment between the small hut and the outer fort creates a striking visual axis, as if the landscape itself was designed to be seen from within.

Lisnarahardin/Lios na Rátha Áirde: Circular bivallate rath KE043-239---- contains traces of 3 or 4 hut-sites and also reputedly contained a Man-made underground passage (OSNB Cloghane, book 2, 8). It is situated on a slightly elevated tract of level ground overlooking Trabeg. The centre of the interior is occupied by a circular, raised area, c. 20.5m in diameter; this is apparently natural. A series of stony banks at the centre of this may mark the sites of 3 huts, but only 1 is clearly defined. It (KE043-239001-) measures 5.7m x 3.5m internally and the 1.1m wide entrance gap faces S, in line with the entrance to the ringfort. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 524.
