What is recorded here

KE036-075---- is one of a group of 4 univallate raths situated on the E side of Corrin Hill. Directly inside the WSW entrance gap are the very disturbed remains of one or more huts. For the most part the stones from these have been robbed leaving an irregular quarried hole c. 10m long ENE-WSW x c. 5m wide. About 50 to 60m to NE are the ruined and grass-grown remains of a hut with a 2nd hut (KE036-075002-) or annex attached to its W side. The E hut is roughly circular in plan and measures c. 3.6m in internal diameter and the NE facing entrance gap measures 1.3m in width. The W hut or annex is less well-defined. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 368. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
