What is recorded here

Three destroyed clochauns, recorded by Macalister in 1899, once stood in Cathair Boilg, County Kerry. Their disappearance suggests a sudden human decision or a slow surrender to the weather. Whatever vanished, the land kept the shape of the loss.

Macalister (1899, 212) recorded 'three destroyed clochauns' at this location. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1432. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 5 August 2013
