What is recorded here

Situated in rough pastureland about 200m N of KE045-076----, this is a small sub-circular enclosure measuring 8.7m N-S x 9.4m E-W internally. The enclosing wall averages c. 0.5m high and c. 2m wide, but only a few short sections of the wall faces are visible, the remainder being either collapsed or concealed by vegetation and peat. There is a c. 1m wide entrance gap at SE. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1534. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 5 August 2013
