What is recorded here

One chamber measured 3.2 by 2.5 metres, abutting the enclosure bank where walls have collapsed into stony ridges no higher than forty centimetres. The hut faced south at the head of the broad valley above Dingle Harbour, sharing the slope with a burial ground and a large stone cross. Whoever built it likely watched the valley breathe before joining the dead already laid beside the wall.

National Monument No. 10046. Calluragh burial ground/An Cheallúnach: KE043-013001- is located on a very gentle S facing slope at the head of the broad valley that extends N from Dingle Harbour. It consists of a subrectangular enclosure, within which are a burial ground, a large stone cross and remains of a possible hut. The remains of a rectangular hut (KE043-013004-), 3.2 x 2.5m internally, abut the enclosure bank at S, its walls now reduced to stony banks no more than .4m high. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 875. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 8 August 2013
