What is recorded here

Internal diam. 26.8m N-S, 25m E-W This roughly circular caher is located close to a cliff-edge on the E side of the Cummeragh river, which flows into Lough Currane a short distance to S. The site is enclosed by a substantial wall which consists of a core of stone and earth faced internally and externally with drystone masonry. The internal facing is largely collapsed. Externally the wall is well-built of rough horizontal coursing and features a slight batter at base. It averages 3m high externally, is 3m in average width and stands to a maximum internal height of 1.1m. A 2.6m wide entrance gap is located at S. The interior of the site is level with no apparent features. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 605. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
