Circular cashel KE026-008----, enclosing 3 hut-sites and a souterrain, is situated on fairly level pastureland at the base of the Brandon mountain range, overlooking Brandon Bay to E.
The remains of 3 huts can be traced in the interior.
(1) The foundations of a large circular stone hut abut the enclosure wall at NW. It is 5.9m in internal diameter and the wall is up to .6m high and approximately 1.75m wide; the outer face is completely obscured by collapse. The entrance faces SSE and is marked by a 1.2m wide gap in the inner face of the wall. The sub-rectangular space between this hut and the enclosing bank to W has been faced to N and E with drystone masonry up to .5m high. The function of this is not known.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 586. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
