What is recorded here

A small circular enclosure situated on a gentle SW facing slope overlooking Dunmore Head and the Blasket islands. It measures 6m in diameter internally and the enclosing stone and earth bank is 2.5m wide and no more than .3m high. A possible entrance gap at SE is blocked by a standing stone measuring 1.05m in height and 1.3m in width. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1537. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
