Clochan in Baile An Chnocáin (tc Cill Chuain)

Lisnagraigue/Lios na Gráige: KE034-029---- The centre of the enclosure is occupied by a fairly well-preserved, circular clochaun KE034-029001-. It measures 4m N-S x 3.8m E-W internally and its corbelled wall is up to 1.8m high. The entrance faces SW and is .75m wide and 1.2m long. Two wall cupboards occur one above the other at NNW. There are also a number of unexplained features in the interior of the enclosure: a stone set on edge 2.8m from the entrance, 3 large boulders lying near the bank at S, a small raised area of stone and earth abutting the bank immediately S of the entrance, and a slightly raised area of grass-covered stone collapse between the entrances to the enclosure and the clochaun. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 298. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
