What is recorded here

A circular enclosure was shown on the 1st edition of the OS map less than 20m N of a 2nd enclosure which is partially preserved (KE035-027----). It was situated on a NW facing slope of Drom Hill overlooking the estuary of the Owenmore river. No visible trace survives. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 673. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
