What is recorded here

Closed passage, vanished huts, bare rock and a preserved cashel identity: the site still holds its shape even when memory wavers. People may have lived there, avoided the sea wind or kept watch beside Brandon Bay. The missing chamber and uncertain third hut turn the place into a puzzle rather than a dead ruin.

Cashel KE026-020---- containing traces of 2 or possibly 3 huts and a now inaccessible Man-made underground passage. It crowns a local eminence (58 feet/18m OD) about 200m from Caher Point on the W side of Brandon Bay. In the WNW sector of the interior a band of grass-grown collapse outlines the site of a hut and there is a faint suggestion of a 2nd hut immediately to SW. A very disturbed, sub-circular spread of stones, immediately SE of the centre of the enclosure, may mark the site of a 3rd hut but can equally well be interpreted as clearance debris. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 548. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
