Internal diam. 27.4m.
This circular univallate enclosure is situated at the N edge of a complex of farm buildings and is now used as a slurry pit. The SE section of the enclosing bank has been completely destroyed and the SW section survives only as a low scarp, the interior being raised slightly above the external ground level. The N half of the enclosure is bounded by a wall measuring .5m in width and up to 1.5m in height. Externally, this latter rests on an earthen platform, c. 1.25m wide and 1m high. It seems likely that this platform represents the remains of the original enclosing bank and that the overlying wall is a late feature. Slight traces of a fosse, c. 2m wide, encircle this platform.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 291. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
