  Description

  Internal diam. 43.2m N-S, 47.6m E-W Situated on the N side of the Knocknanacree ridge, overlooking the Anascaul valley, this oval univallate enclosure is defined by an earthen bank faced with drystone masonry. Along all but the N sector of the site, the bank acts as a boundary fence to a laneway and it does not differ in construction from adjacent field fences; it averages 1.2m in height. In the N sector, the bank rises only .5m above the interior but it is 1.5m high externally. The interior is bisected N-S by a field fence and the E part is similarly bisected E-W. The site is not marked on the OS maps as an antiquity and its classification as a ringfort is not certain. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 395. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
