Internal diam. 37.7m N-S, 40m E-W.
Ballinvoher Fort/An Lios: KE045-048----: Situated directly W of Ballyandreen village, on level ground about 200m E of a tributary of the Owenascaul river, this circular rath is enclosed by a single earthen bank and fosse.
The only feature visible in the interior is a large raised platform in the E sector. This measures 12m x 16.6m x .5m in height, and a depression near its centre measures 5m x 4.1m. A large flagstone which lies directly SW of the latter was said to mark the entrance to a souterrain KE045-048001- (OSNB Ballinvoher, book 2, 2).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 311. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
