What is recorded here

This stony mound is located on a slight SW facing slope overlooking the valley of the Owenalondrig river. It measures 15.5m N-S x 11.5m E-W x 1m in height and is irregular in outline. There are possible traces of a circular foundation at its N end; a pit near its SE end may be the result of quarrying. The site is known locally as a fort and it is possible that it is the very disturbed remains of such a monument. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 225. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
