What is recorded here

An Clochán (tc Na Gleannta) holds a vanished circular hut inside Liscunneendeen, leaving only two shallow depressions where a wall once rose five feet high. The site sits on a gentle slope above Ventry Harbour, beside a man-made underground passage and a large cairn, suggesting a busy threshold between land and sea. People may have built there to watch boats, store gear or mark a boundary, while the earth slowly took back the stones.

Liscunneendeen/Lios Coinín Doinn: Roughly circular univallate rath KE052-052---- is located on a very gentle SW facing slope overlooking Ventry Harbour. A Man-made underground passage and hut site have previously been recorded in the interior and a large cairn lies 50m to NE. The circular ruin (KE052-052002-) mentioned in the OSNB (Kildrum, 25) and described as being 12 feet (3.65m) in diameter and 5 feet (1.5m) high is no longer extant, the only features visible in the interior being 2 depressions, .75m deep and irregular in outline. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 363. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
