The National Monuments Service's description
Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 321) refers to, 'a plot eleven acres in extent, known in English as Duncuff, and in Irish as Dhooncuffa (Dún Chobhthaigh), that is Cobhthach's Fort. The Dun, from which the name is derived, was levelled long before anyone now living can remember'. The location of this monument within this townland is unknown. However, also within Duncuff, Carrigan (ibid.) refers to a castle within a field known as the 'castle field'. This field was identified during fieldwork in 1987. It is possible therefore, that this enclosure was located in the vicinity of this castle (KK004-031----).
