What is recorded here

A semi-circular, level platform situated in the N corner of a field, on a SE facing slope overlooking the estuary of the Owenmore river. It is defined to NW and NE by straight field walls. It measures 20.2m NE-SW and 23m NW-SE across its upper surface, and is .9m high above the surrounding field on the downslope side. It is named 'Fort' on the Fair Plan. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 654. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
