What is recorded here

Beheenagh holds a rare double rath where two ancient walls circle the same ground. Inside the outer ring, three shallow hut depressions still mark the places where people lived, breathed and perhaps argued about the weather. The middle chamber contains two larger hollows joined by a narrow passage, suggesting a household that moved between rooms rather than standing in one open space.

Univallate rath KE046-002---- within which are the probable remains of 3 hut-sites (KE046-002001-, KE046-002002- & KE046-002003-). An irregular depression, c. 3m in diameter and up to .25m deep, abutting the bank at NW, probably represents the remains of a hut-site. Two contiguous depressions in the W sector of the interior also probably represent hut-sites with a connecting passage. These measure c. 3m and c. 3.5m in maximum extent and are up to 1m deep. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 350. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
