What is recorded here

Little remains of the roughly oval univallate enclosure marked on the OS maps. Its S and W sides are now defined by straight field walls. The S wall curves NE around the SE section of the site, following the line of the original bank or wall, and this curving outline is continued around the NE section by a low mound. The enclosure was c.31m in internal diameter. Situated on the lower S slopes of Mount Eagle. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage (compiler) 'Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.' Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 642. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
