What is recorded here

Internal diam. 26m A roughly circular univallate rath situated on level ground at the inner edge of the broad, lowlying expanse of land that surrounds Trabeg. The earthen enclosing bank is a maximum of 1.8m high externally and 1.95m high internally. The SSW facing entrance is 1.9m wide and its E side is lined with 2 courses of stone masonry. Other gaps in the bank appear to be secondary. A 2m wide band of Bog Iris grows outside the bank and may indicate the presence of a filled-in fosse. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 495. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
