What is recorded here

No visible trace survives on the steep west facing slope above the Blasket Sound, but three buried chamber foundations still mark the vanished hut. People may have stood where the stone once rose, watched the water below and left the place to rain, grass and forgetting.

This site was described by Macalister (1899, 282) as a small, almost destroyed lios KE052-062----, measuring 7m in diameter. Three mounds (KE052-062001-, KE052-062002- & KE052-062003-) in the interior marked the foundations of 3 chambers. It was situated on a steep W facing slope overlooking the Blasket Sound and no visible trace survives. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1530. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
