What is recorded here

On a level terrace on the SE slopes of Mount Eagle. A D-shaped corbelled drystone structure modified for use as a sheep-fold. The entrance gap at the N end of the straight E wall is provided externally with a short approach passage, defined to S by upright slabs and to N by the very ruined, remains of a 2nd structure which was apparently circular with an internal diameter of c. 1.67m (Macalister 1899, 236). Abutting the SE side of the D-shaped hut is a small enclosure, probably related to the reuse of the site as a sheep-fold. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1259. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
