What is recorded here

Death and memory have never been far apart. The chamber holds both, and both belong to the living. To enter is to stop pretending that the dead are absent. The chamber is not a warning; it is a teacher. It shows what people understood before they forgot.
Situated on the lower W slopes of Ballysitteragh mountain, bivallate rath KE043-081---- contains the remains of at least 2 hut-sites and a possible Man-made underground passage. (3) (KE043-081004-) A low mound of stones which abuts the enclosure bank at NNE was interpreted by Du Noyer as a ruined clochaun. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 323. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
