What is recorded here

Clochan in Fán held two small stone chambers inside a ruined bank on the Dingle Peninsula before destruction between the 1840s and 1895. They may have sheltered people, stored butter or marked a forgotten household, but the earth and time removed them. What remains is a map line and a lost shape, waiting for someone to imagine the life that vanished.

KE052-247---- was destroyed between the 1840's and 1895. The depiction on the 1st edition of the OS map shows 2 clochauns surrounded by a single ring of hachures which probably represented a ruined bank or wall. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 677. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
