What is recorded here
Roughly oval bivallate rath KE054-082---- lies on the lower SE slopes of the Sea Hill ridge, overlooking Minard Head and Dingle Bay.
Much of the interior is occupied by the confused and overgrown foundations of several structures. A D-shaped structure KE054-082001-, 5.6m x 3m internally, abuts the bank at NW, its walls now reduced to low grass-grown stony mounds.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 391. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
