Structure in Acres (corkaguiny By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Knocknanacree tilts northward above Ballyferriter, carrying three raths in a loose line as if people had learned the shape of the hill and answered it. Structure in Acres (corkaguiny By.) is the middle one: an oval bank thirty-one metres wide, with a smaller drystone chamber set into its inner face near the entrance. That chamber may have held a door, a hearth, a boundary marker or a dead person’s name; the stones no longer argue about it.

Internal diam. 25m N-S, 31m E-W. This oval univallate rath lies on the lower N slopes of Knocknanacree, about 300m S of another rath (KE054-056----) and 300m N of Cahernanacree (KE054-064----). An oval drystone-built structure KE054-060001- abuts the inner face of the bank in the vicinity of the entrance. It measures 5.6m x 4.1m internally, and the walling is up to .7m high and 2m wide. Other features in the interior include some heaps and scatters of stone and a modern field fence and drain. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 282. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
