What is recorded here
Two upright slabs and scattered prostrate stones mark a four-by-two-metre chamber inside the subcircular rath at Imleach Dhún Séann. The slight eastern slope overlookes marshy Trabeg land, giving the hidden hut a clear view across water-softened ground. Whoever placed those stones chose a small, defensible pocket where morning light strikes first and mist stays low.
Subcircular univallate rath KE053-028---- is situated on a very slight E facing slope, overlooking the level marshy land that surrounds Trabeg.
A possible hut site (KE053-028001-) in the centre of the interior is defined by 2 upright slabs and a few prostrate stones. The area enclosed measures 4m x 2m.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 408. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
