What is recorded here

Na Gleannta Thuaidh holds a ruined ringfort where a small circular hut and unknown underground passage still emerge through western pasture. The hut measures four metres across, yet its wall has fallen to one metre, suggesting people once shaped that rough mountain slope into a lived home. The hidden passage extends beyond sight, inviting imagination about what it guarded or connected beneath the grass.

Univallate ringfort KE043-059---- encloses the remains of a circular hut (KE043-059001-) and a drystone-built Man-made underground passage (KE043-059002-) of uncertain extent. It is situated in rough, fairly level pastureland on the W slopes of Ballysitteragh mountain. The circular hut in the E sector of the interior is c. 4m in diameter, and its wall, now largely defaced and collapsed, survives to a maximum height of c. 1m. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 444. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
