What is recorded here

Univallate rath KE036-072---- is situated on the E slopes of Corrin mountain, overlooking the valley of the Finglas river. The interior slopes markedly downhill to E and an irregular hollow in the NE sector is probably the remains of a hut (KE036-072001-), c. 5.8m in diameter. The hollow is enclosed by a low bank, 1m wide and a maximum of .55m high. This is open to S and there is no visible trace of any wall facing. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 370. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013

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.
