Hut site in Gleann Fán

Hut site

What is recorded here

Three conjoined huts, now a collapsed stone cairn, still hold the shape of human hands in Gleann Fán. They may have sheltered herders, traders or fleeing families during storms that erased every other trace. The stones did not fall by accident. They fell because no one remained to keep them standing.
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.
