What is recorded here

Impressive univallate rath KE042-069---- situated on the gentle NW slopes of Reenconnell, with an excellent outlook over much of the N side of this W end of the Dingle Peninsula. Windele (1838, 198) mentioned caves in the interior, entered 'from under a kind of gallery covered with stone in the centre'. Westropp (1897, 297) also mentioned souterrains, but none is visible at the site today. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 355. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
