What is recorded here
Three conjoined huts stood in Gleann Fán before collapsing into a single cairn of stones. They may have sheltered herders, traders or fugitives during storms. The valley still keeps their shape hidden beneath broken rock and moss.
Púca na nAsal: A group of probably 3 conjoined structures now for the most part reduced to a cairn of stone collapse.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1307. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
