Recorded monuments
- KE043-051 Ringfort - rath
Description
A roughly circular bivallate rath situated in level, marshy ground, on the floor of the valley of the Milltown river. The survey team were refused access to the site and the following account is based on a very brief and cursory examination. The defences consist of 2 banks and fosses, now densely overgrown. There is a causeway across the outer fosse at S but it was not clear whether or not this was the entrance to the site. There are remains of animal pens in the interior and also a large hole which may mark the location of a souterrain. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 430. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 14/1972).
