What is recorded here

Three shallow hollows still mark the floors of huts inside a stone-ringed rath on an east-facing slope above the Owenalondrig river. The boundary bank has thinned, yet it keeps the shape of a small domestic place rather than a grand ceremonial one. Someone may have lived there close enough to hear water moving below and feel sunlight reach the doorway before the valley filled.

Roughly circular univallate rath KE044-077---- situated on an ESE facing slope overlooking the Owenalondrig river. The remains of 3 hut sites are visible in the interior and a Man-made underground passage (KE044-077004-), mentioned briefly by Curran (No.3), may have been located within this site. (2) (KE044-077002-),A possible hut-site to N of (KE044-077001- is marked by a depression which measures 4m N-S x 5m E-W. The NE sector is defined by a bank of stones, .6m high and .9m wide. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 450.
