On the 1st edition of the OS map, a univallate enclosure, vaguely sub-rectangular rather than circular in outline, is shown at this location, in level, wet pastureland near the SE edge of the Trabeg inlet. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 668. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

The circular univallate enclosure marked on the 2nd edition of the OS map is now only faintly discernible. The W sector of the enclosure is marked by a curve in the NW-SE field boundary which abuts the site. The remainder of the perimeter is defined by a very low bank and slight traces of an external fosse. The presence of the latter suggests that this site was a rath and not a cashel. It is c. 32m in diameter. A souterrain was discovered when the site was being levelled about 7 or 8 years ago (local information). It consisted of a passage and at least 2 chambers. The passage was constructed of upright slabs and roofed by a series of flat lintels. The chambers resembled 'underground beehive huts' and each was roofed by a single flat slab. One of the entrances was formed by a porthole slab. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

Internal diam. 29.7m E-W, 31.7m N-S This circular univallate rath overlooks the entrance to Trabeg from a low ridge on its W side. The enclosing bank has been considerably modified, particularly its S half which forms part of the modern field boundary system. The N half appears to consist of an earthen bank surmounted in places by a low stone wall composed of very small stones. It is 1.2m high externally and 1m high internally and there is a slight suggestion of an external fosse, c. 4.5m wide. This section of the bank is interrupted by 3 gaps, 1.9m, 3.8m and 7m wide, and a modern gateway, 3.75m wide, gives access to the interior from E. The bank in the SE quadrant is earthen with drystone facing on its inner flank. This facing displays at least two phases of construction and it is not clear if any of it is an original feature of the site. The bank in the SW quadrant appears to consist of an earth base, c. 1m high externally with only a very slight internal height, which is surmounted by a stone wall which may be contemporary with the adjacent field walls. A 4m wide stretch at S is composed entirely of stone and is probably a blocked-up gap. It is not clear which of the gaps marks the location of the original entrance. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 394.

This site consists of a roughly circular area defined by a slight scarp and now trisected by field walls. It measures approximately 64m in diameter. The site lies on a SE facing slope about 150m from the Trabeg inlet and is not noted on the OS maps. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

Internal diam. 29m NW-SE, 27m NE-SW This roughly circular univallate rath contains the remains of 4 possible huts, and a souterrain (KE053-077002-) was discovered in either this site or KE053-078----. It lies on a gentle N facing slope overlooking Trabeg. The external fosse is a maximum of 1.75m deep below the external ground level and c. 3m wide; it is no longer visible along the N sector. A section of the fosse forms part of a trackway which joins the site at SW and E. The earthen bank rises 2m above the fosse, a maximum of 3m above the external ground level on the N side, and up to 1.5m above the interior. A 1m wide gap at E is probably the original entrance. Hut 1(KE053-077001-): This overgrown foundation abuts the bank at ESE. It measures 3m N-S x 2m E-W internally, and the ruined walls are up to 1.25m high. It was apparently used as a goat/sheep-shelter and, during the War of Independence, as a hide-out (local information). Hut 2 (KE053-077003-): Located to N of (KE053-077001-), this structure survives as a stony bank enclosing an area 8m NE-SW x 5.5m NW-SE; it is open along the NE quadrant. Hut 3 (KE053-077004-): Located in the N part of the interior, only the W arc of this structure survives. It is 6m in diameter and the wall is reduced to a stony bank up to .75m high. Hut 4 (KE053-077005-): Located to W of (KE053-077004-), only the E arc of this structure survives. It is 4m in diameter and the wall is reduced to a low stony bank.

The circular univallate enclosure marked on the 1st edition of the OS map no longer survives, but the outline of the NE section of the bank is preserved as a low scarp. The site lies in the SW corner of a field.

National Monument No. 10040. Doonmore/An Dún Mór and Doonbeg/An Dún Beag: A large promontory projecting SE into Dingle Bay, on the W side of the entrance to Trabeg. Coosgorm, a narrow inlet of the sea, cuts deep into the S side of the promontory about 100m from its SE tip; the isolation of the seaward section is completed by an artificial bank and fosse which extend c. 75m across the remaining neck. Although Westropp (1910, 286-7) refers to the site as Dunsheane, the greater portion of the promontory fort is known as Doonmore, and Doonbeg is the name given to a smaller, inaccessible projection on the S side of Coosgorm. The earthen bank is 10m wide at base, 3m high internally, and 6.6m high above the base of the fosse. A 1.5m wide wall, comprised of several courses of large horizontally-laid slabs, runs intermittently along the top of the bank. The fosse rises 3m to the field beyond, at which level it is 8 to 9m wide. The presence of some very large stones at the base of a field wall outside the fosse suggested to Westropp that this, 'at least in part', formed an outer defence work. However, except for the extreme W end, it does not follow the line of the fosse but swings away to run NE to the cliff edge. At the W end of the defences a 4m wide causewayed entrance provides access to the interior. At the E end, although the fosse extends to the cliff edge, the bank stops short of it, and Westropp described 'an old-looking gateway' here. The stumps of the 2 pillar stones stand 1.5m apart at this point. Westropp also recorded a souterrain at the foot of the inner edge of the bank. This is not now accessible but its position, 10m E of the causeway, is marked by a burrow-like hole, some large stones, and subsidence of the bank immediately to E. A low, earthen field boundary extends SE across the interior from the causeway to the cliff edge. Westropp noted 3 circular hut-sites along the cliff edge to NE of this. These could not be located. However, 4 possible hut-sites are closely grouped near the cliff edge to SW of the boundary, and a 5th occurs near the S side of Coosgorm. They consist of circular depressions excavated back into the sloping ground on one side and enclosed by a low bank on the other. They range in diameter from 3 to 5.5m. Doonbeg is now linked to the mainland by only a narrow isthmus which falls very steeply from Doonmore, the descent being almost sheer in places. Beyond this is a small, upstanding triangle of land enclosed by a bank. In 1910 (Westropp, 286-7), a fosse was visible across the grassy slope 'just above the saw-like remnant of the neck’.
