What is recorded here

Murorgán held a beehive-shaped hut beside a small caher when the Co. Kerry Field Club walked past in 1949. The same townland also contained two liosacháns, which local story calls fairy forts but may have been little ringforts. Those marks have vanished, levelled from the land, leaving only the shape of a bee house and the suggestion that people once lived where legend now occupies the gap.

On a visit to this townland in 1949 the Co. Kerry Field Club visited 'a small caher with a large beehive-shaped hut outside the wall'. They also visited 2 sites which they described as 'liosacháns'. This term is glossed by Dineen as 'fairy fort' and may refer to a small ringfort or cashel. The sites have not been located and local information suggests they have been levelled. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 727. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
