What is recorded here

Cloghanelinaghan preserves a circular hut on the lower east slopes of Castlequin, where uprights and slabs still stand edge-on in rough grazing land. Two large stones face each other barely twenty centimetres apart at the northeast, like a doorway narrowed to a breath. The south side may hide further coursing beneath overgrowth, suggesting the structure was larger or more deliberate than first seen. Whatever life moved through that small space, the stones still hold its shape against the slope.
In rough grazing land on lower E slopes of Castlequin. A roughly circular site consisting of uprights and slabs set on edge. Two large uprights, set .2m apart, at NE. Possible coursing occurs beneath overgrowth on S side. D: 4.5m x 4m. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1191. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 31 July 2013
