Structure in Beheenagh (corkaguiny By.)

According to Cuppage (1986, 81-2, no. 259), 'Four or 5 sub-rectangular or D-shaped structures [(KE037-048002-, KE037-048003-, KE037-048004-, KE037-048005-, KE037-048006-)] abut the inner face of the wall. These survive as depressions lined by collapsed walling, and the largest [KE037-048002-] measures 2.25m x 1.6m internally x 1.2m in depth. Another D-shaped foundation [KE037-048003-] abuts the outside of the wall, a little N of the S entrance. It measures 2m x 2.75m internally and its wall is up to .4m high. Another large D-shaped depression [KE037-048004-] in the external collapse, to S of the same entrance, may be a relatively recent sheep-shelter'. Though Cuppage (ibid.) mentions 'four or 5', only four are shown on fig. 55, p. 82. However, a plan in P.J. Lynch's 1899 article (fig.'Map plan of fort', p. 13) shows the fifth structure, to the S of the S entrance, and abutting the outside of the promontory wall. The structures have been identified in as much as is possible, given the information provided by Cuppage and Lynch. However, a brief inspection of the structures may be necessary to clearly identify and match the structures shown on the plans with the measurements provided by Cuppage.
