What is recorded here
Clochan in Knockane is a ringfort in County Kerry containing a series of beehive huts. The small stone chambers still stand inside the earthwork, suggesting people lived there when huts were built quickly and roofs depended on rain. The name Clochan fits the shape and purpose of the place.
Toal (1995, no. 820) records a 'series of beehive huts' in the interior of this ringfort (KE014-059----).
