What is recorded here
Situated on the lower W slopes of Brandon mountain. Only the bare outline of this circular cashel KE034-021---- is now discernible.
The sheep-folds shown on the OS map survive only as low mounds of stone, with some few sections of the outer wall faces still traceable. These may have been hut-sites originally associated with the cashel and later re-used as sheep-folds.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 545. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
