Internal diam. c. 19m
On a gentle SE facing slope overlooking Brandon Bay, a circular enclosure is marked on the OS maps. This survives as a semi-circular platform raised, only on the downslope side, a maximum of 1.2m above the general level of the field. The straight side of the semi-circle is defined by a field wall. A spread of small stones covers the entire surface and flanks of the platform and these become denser towards the edge forming a barely discernible bank. This may be the site described in the OSNB (Cloghane, book 1, 43) as 'a heap of stones forming a kind of circle' with a small house and souterrain visible within.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 647. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
