What is recorded here

An Mhín Aird Bhuí holds a circular earthen ringfort with a 23.4m internal diameter, its stone-faced bank still standing 1.7m high externally. The townland boundary wall now completes the northern edge, suggesting human hands kept shaping the site long after its first building. A narrow eastern gap admits one at a time, fitting a small household, a seasonal camp or a boundary marker for local pride.

Internal diam. 23.4m This circular univallate rath lies c. 100m N of KE054-042---- and 175m W of KE054-044----. The N and NW sectors of the site are enclosed by the townland boundary wall which appears to follow the line of the original enclosing bank. The remainder of the enclosure is defined by a stone-faced earthen bank, c. 0.8m high internally and 1.7m high externally. The 1.6m wide entrance gap at ESE is also faced with stone. The gaps in the bank at NE and SW are secondary features. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 509. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
