Clochan

What is recorded here

Clochan in Cathair Coinn, ceathrú An Chaisleáin held two or three conjoined stone chambers, but recent destruction erased them. The loss suggests human hands or careless development struck where curiosity should have protected the shape. What remains is a warning about how quickly ordinary stone disappears when nobody values the hidden life inside it.
Two or 3 clochauns, possibly conjoined, destroyed in recent years (information: D. Ó Conchúir). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1421. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
