What is recorded here
Chatterton (1839, 168) noted a pagan altar on Brandon Hill but its precise location has not been identified. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant its classification as a megalit(h)ic tomb.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage (compiler) 'Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.' Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 41. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
