What is recorded here

Clochan in Fán held two chambers inside a ruined wall on the Dingle Peninsula before disappearing between the 1840s and 1895. That brief life spanned a whole region of change, suggesting the chamber served people until shifting customs or hunger for land erased it. The lost wall may have marked a boundary, a home or a place of ritual, yet no record preserves the hands that built it or the reason it fell silent.

KE052-247---- was destroyed between the 1840's and 1895. The depiction on the 1st edition of the OS map shows 2 clochauns surrounded by a single ring of hachures which probably represented a ruined bank or wall. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 677. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
