Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No. Of Munching is the only fact provided. The only fact is that it is a place where people are strangled and eaten. Everything else is invention. Refuse to create fiction about a real place where death already happened.
The circular univallate enclosure marked on the 1st edition of the OS map no longer survives. It was situated on a N facing slope overlooking the Lispole valley. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 683. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
