Sub-circular enclosure KE035-056----, with 2 internal hut-sites, situated on a gentle W facing slope overlooking the Owenmore valley.
(2) (KE035-056002-) A circular drystone-built hut also abuts the enclosure wall at W. Only the inner face which is incorporated into the enclosure wall survives; the remainder of the outline is defined by a very slight bank. The hut is 3.5m in internal diameter and the wall is a maximum of 1.7m high; the upper courses are slightly corbelled. The exterior of the enclosure wall bulges outwards at this point; this may represent portion of the original enclosing element which was later replaced by the present stone wall, but the immediate area is obscured by collapse and this interpretation is not certain. A recess in the wall of the hut extends back under this bulge but is also confused by collapse.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 498. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
