What is recorded here

The circular enclosure marked on the 2nd edition of the OS map has been largely destroyed. Only a small section of the SE portion of the bank remains. This is composed of earth and stones and is badly disturbed. The site is located on the level coastal plain at the base of the low-lying spit known as Derrymore Island. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 663. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
