Clochan in Gleann Fán

Marked as a circular clochaun on the OS maps, the remains of this structure are now almost completely obscured by collapse and field clearance debris. The circular building shown on the maps about 40m to E is in reality sub-rectangular in outline and was probably an outhouse or animal pen associated with the old village of Glanfahan. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1474. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 5 August 2013
