What is recorded here
KE035-020---- was a 'small fort', recorded here on fairly level ground c. 750m S of Brandon Bay (CKFC 1945, 605), was levelled about 10 years ago (local information).
The landowner described it as a circular heap of stones with a small cave inside. The field club also mentioned 'a warren of Man-made underground passages'. The stony nature of the debris from the site suggests that it was probably a cashel.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 638. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
