What is recorded here

Death came quickly in that narrow valley, perhaps from a falling branch or a sudden fever. They dug the passage through solid earth, giving up months of life to build a chamber where the dead could rest beneath the soil. The living hut beside it lost its walls to rain and time, leaving only a shallow oval on the ground. What remains is the shape of desperation: love measured in years of labor rather than hours of grief.

Lisroe/An Lios Rua: Situated on a gentle slope on the E side of Gleann na nGealt, univallate rath KE036-065---- contains traces of a hut site (KE036-065001-) and Man-made underground passage (KE036-065002-). A possible hut (KE036-065001-), built against the bank at W, is reduced to a low band of collapse enclosing an area 4.1m x 4.3m in diameter. A 2.9m wide gap at E marks the location of the entrance. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 527. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
