Clochan in Cill Mhic An Domhnaigh

Clochan

What is recorded here

Clochan in Cill Mhic An Domhnaigh is a circular corbelled chamber, 4.34 metres across, built from heavy stone in County Kerry. Three standing stones sit distant from the entrance, provoking arguments about whether they formed an avenue or marked a lost underground passage. The chamber still holds its shape, waiting for someone to walk past those stones and ask what they guided.
Clochán an Phúca: A circular corbelled clochaun, 4.34m in diameter. Three standing stones some distance from the entrance were interpreted by Macalister (1899, 215) as an avenue and by Curran (no.5) as the remains of a Man-made underground passage. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1510. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 5 August 2013
