What is recorded here

Clochán an Gharraí Chluanaigh holds three conjoined circular huts on the lower southern slopes of Mount Eagle. The central chamber measured nearly four metres across, the northern companion two metres, while the southern hut has nearly vanished into a large stone cairn. Low upright slabs still mark the inner and outer wall bases, suggesting people once shaped the mountain slope into a tight domestic cluster before time smoothed the edge.
Clochán an Gharraí Chluanaigh: On lower S slopes of Mount Eagle. Three circular conjoined huts now reduced to a large stone cairn, with short sections of the basal course of the outer and inner wall faces, formed by low upright slabs, still visible. The central structure was c. 3.9m in diameter, the N one c. 2m, but the S hut has almost completely disappeared. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1262. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
