What is recorded here
Leataoibh Mór holds a flooded circular hollow at its western foot, perhaps the throat of a man-made passage rather than a ordinary water gatherer. That is a dangerous invitation for curiosity because depth and darkness remove every guarantee of return. The nearby stony ridge may mark a boundary, a dump or a forgotten road, but uncertainty should not stop you seeing the place as alive.
Lisgortcam/Lios Gort Cam: Univallate rath KE042-115---- is situated at the foot of the W slopes of Lateevemore.
A circular hollow, 1m in diameter and flooded to a depth of at least .5m, may possibly mark the entrance to a Man-made underground passage KE042-115001-. An irregularly-shaped stony ridge or bank, up to .5m high, occupies the W sector but its origin is not known.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 494. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
