Penitential station in An Fhaiche — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

A large number of penitential stations were marked on the 1st edition of the OS map and several cairns of stone still survive. These range in diameter from .75 to 2m. Curran (no. 32) noted the foundations of 30 cells at the site, ranging from 3 to 20 feet (.9 to 6m) in diameter but he was probably referring to these penitential cairns rather than to hut-sites. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage (compiler) 'Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.' Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 818. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 May 2013
