What is recorded here

Clochan in Feaghmaan West is a ruined stone hut beside a large enclosure in County Kerry. Its western wall still stands 1.3m thick around a 3m interior now filled with loose stone, while two upright stones mark the south side. They may have belonged to the hut or flagged a grave, leaving the small dwelling entangled with death as much as daily life.

The foundations of this structure occur close to the enclosing bank of enclosure (KE078-002001-) at WSW. Only the W half is apparent, where the wall measures 1.3m thick. The interior, which is 3m in diameter, is filled with loose stone. Immediately to S are two upright stones, 1m and 0.45m high. It is not clear if these stones are connected with the hut or if they functioned as grave-markers. See attached plan taken from Henry 1957, fig. 14, 91.
