On a gentle SE facing slope overlooking Brandon Bay are the very ruined remains of an enclosure KE026-009----, probably a cashel, and a hut-site.
The interior is very disturbed but appears to have been on 2 levels. On the upper terrace, a circular hut-site abuts the enclosing bank at W. This is 4.3m in internal diameter and the drystone-built inner face survives to a maximum height of .58m. The E half of the wall is traceable only as a very slight grass-grown bank and the entrance must have been positioned in this sector.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 587. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
