What is recorded here

Circular univallate rath (KE053-081002-) with souterrain (KE053-081003-) lies on a NW facing slope overlooking the entrance to the Trabeg inlet. The S part of the interior is occupied by an oval feature enclosed along its N side by a .75m high bank and along its S side by a drop of .75m from the general ground level in the rath interior. It measures c. 21.5m E-W x 8m N-S. A stone-lined hole at its S end may relate to the souterrain noted in the OSNB (Kinard, 19). A large slab of stone set into the outer face of the bank, on the W side of the entrance, may also be related. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 485. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
