Clochan

What is recorded here

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. The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 945. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 29 March 2022
