What is recorded here

Internal diam. 21m N-S, 24m E-W. This roughly circular univallate rath lies on the lower N slopes of Knocknanacree. It is bisected NW-SE by a field wall and no other features are visible in the interior. The earthen enclosing bank is a maximum of 1.1m high. The entrance gap at NE is 1.5m wide and its N side is defined by a single stone. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 284. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
