What is recorded here
Death and darkness are not the same. You can map death, but you cannot map the edge of understanding. That is why the chamber is empty. It is not a failure of record, it is a warning about the limit of record.
Lisculliheen/Lios Coilichín: Univallate rath KE052-025---- is located on the W side of the small valley which extends SE from Coumaleague Hill. It lies on the N side of an E flowing stream and a laneway skirts the W side of the site. The circular interior is enclosed by a single earthen bank and contains a Man-made underground passage and the foundations of a circular hut.
Hut KE052-025001-: Located in the W part of the interior, this hut is reduced to a mere foundation, 6.2m in diameter internally. The entrance is on the SE side.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 465. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
