Enclosure KE034-039---- lies about 130m NE of KE034-041----, and commands an extensive view in all directions from the lower W slopes of Brandon mountain.
In the interior are the remains of 3 circular stone huts. (KE034-039002-) lies in the SE part of the enclosure,
(2) (KE034-039002-) This well-preserved clochaun measures at least 3.7m in internal diameter. The wall is a maximum of 1.6m high externally, but it has collapsed inwards preventing access to the interior; it is 1.25m wide. The structure is built upon a base which extends .75m beyond the wall and which is .5m high. This latter was probably provided to create a level platform for the construction of the hut.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 343. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
