What is recorded here

An Rinn Bhuí holds a circular rath where three or four hut marks still show through the stones. The site overlooks Trabeg, and local story claims an underground passage once cut through the earth beneath it. Whoever lived there chose a small rise above the water, building shelters inside a deeper ancient circle. The place remains half-hidden, waiting for someone to walk its banks and imagine the hands that shaped them.

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 (KE043-239001-) is clearly defined. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 524. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
