What is recorded here
Dermot and Grania's Bed, a megalithic tomb in Baile Uí Bhuinn, has vanished without a visible trace. It may have been a chamber for the dead or a boundary marker for a forgotten field. The loss is not empty, because the name still carries the shape of the place.
Marked on the 1st edition of the OS map as 'Dermot and Grania's Bed', this feature was described in the OSNB (Cloghane, 36) as 'a small heap of stones'. No visible trace survives.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 40. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
