What is recorded here

Kilteenbane holds a circular rath on the valley floor between Corrin Hill and Knockbrack, guarding a ruined stone hut barely four and a half metres wide. The small chamber sits slightly west of the enclosure's heart, exposing an ancient domestic arrangement rather than a grand ceremonial stage. Whoever built it chose a protected hollow where the land could be worked, watched and remembered without wasting strength on display.
Circular univallate rath KE036-079---- encloses the remains of a single hut. It is situated on the floor of the small valley which is bounded to NW by Corrin Hill and to SE by Knockbrack. The very ruined remains of a circular stone hut (KE036-079001-), c. 4.6m in diameter, are located a little W of the centre of the enclosure. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 478. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
