What is recorded here

This site consists of a small irregularly-shaped area defined partly by a stony bank, possibly a collapsed wall, and partly by a low scarp, the interior being raised c. 0.15m above the external ground level. The feature measures 12.2m N-S x 14m E-W externally and the stony bank is 1 to 1.5m wide and up to .5m high. In the W part of the interior is a slight hollow measuring 4.2m in diameter, and in the E part are the very ruined foundations of a rectangular or square hut KE036-036001- measuring 2.5m N-S internally. This site may have consisted of a small enclosure and hut but its function and context are not known. It is located on the E slopes of Gleann na nGealt, near the entrance to the valley. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1547.
