The tentative phrasing matters here. This fragment of walling on Inis Tuaisceart, the northernmost of the Blasket Islands, sits beside a single exposed grave, and together they are the kind of evidence that archaeologists treat carefully, noting possibility rather than certainty.

Inishtooskert lies four miles off the western tip of the Dingle Peninsula and two and a half miles north of the Great Blasket. Its 241 acres are ringed entirely by sea-cliffs, and the land rises steeply toward a maximum altitude of 573 feet on the northwestern side. The northern half of the island carries no trace of human settlement at all. It is only in the southern half, within a small, surviving field system, that signs of occupation appear, centred on an Early Christian settlement associated with St. Brendan. Early Christian hut sites in Ireland were typically small stone cells, often associated with monastic communities or the solitary retreats of ascetic monks, and it is within that tradition that this arc of walling and its neighbouring grave most naturally sit. The description of the site derives from J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, the Corca Dhuibhne survey, which systematically documented the extraordinary concentration of early medieval remains along this coastline. The soil cover across the island is thin and the rock close to the surface, which perhaps explains both why so little has survived and why what does survive remains visible at all.
