What is recorded here

Death and darkness are not the same. The chamber holds the edge of both. What you lose is not gone, it has simply stopped belonging to your story.
Sub-circular rath KE044-062---- is located on the E slopes of a low hill (611 feet/186m) that overlooks the Anascaul valley to W. An earth and stone mound, located in the SW part of the interior, contains 2 depressions which may represent hut-sites (KE044-062001- & KE044-062002-). The mound is c. 1.5m high and the depressions measure 6m x 4m x .75m deep and 2m in diameter x .75m deep. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 330. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
