What is recorded here

Doonmore/An Dún Mór and Doonbeg/An Dún Beag: A large promontory projecting SE into Dingle Bay, on the W side of the entrance to Trabeg. 4 possible hut-sites (KE053-079007-, KE053-079008-, KE053-079009- & KE053-079010-) are closely grouped near the cliff edge to SW of the boundary, and a 5th occurs near the S side of Coosgorm. They consist of circular depressions excavated back into the sloping ground on one side and enclosed by a low bank on the other. They range in diameter from 3 to 5.5m. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 270. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013
