What is recorded here
Clochán Ceannúigh holds a earthen ringfort where human hands shaped the land before fairy tales claimed it back. The soil remembers both: human ambition and fictional reinvention.
For descriptive account see O'Sullivan and Sheehan (1996, 226, no. 858).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
