What is recorded here
One chamber, four metres wide, faced the sunrise on Corrin Hill while three smaller raths watched from below. Its entrance still stands marked by two upright stones, narrow enough to force every visitor through a controlled gap. The wall has collapsed into a low band, yet the inner face remains high enough to touch. Someone built a small, defensible room on an open slope and left it for the rain to forget.
KE036-073---- is the northernmost of 4 closely-grouped raths situated on the E side of Corrin Hill. It lies on a SE facing slope about 75m N of KE036-075----.
A roughly D-shaped hut (KE036-073001-), built against the bank at ESE, measures 4m x 4.6m internally. Its wall is now reduced for the most part to a band of collapse but portion of the inner wall face at WSW is preserved to a height of .5m. The entrance at NW is defined by 2 stones set standing on edge .55m apart.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 369. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
