What is recorded here
Clochan in Glanmane is a small stone chamber on a steep Kerry slope, facing east toward Tralee Bay. Its collapsed roof and narrow entrance suggest people once climbed this rough ground to watch the water or keep warm from the valley wind. The chamber still holds its shape beside the grazing land, waiting for someone to imagine the hands that stacked its stones.
Situated on a steep east facing slope near the entrance to a N-S valley with extensive views north to Tralee Bay. The land use is rough grazing for sheep with exposed rock outcrops, thin peat cover and heather. Located directly uphill from a cabin and hut site. Clochán (ext. dims. 3.5m E-W x 3.1m N-S; max H 1.6m) built on a square base with the remains of a collapsed corbelled roof above the S facing entrance lintel (H 0.75m; Wth 0.6m). The structure is partially dug into the slope to the W and has a small, level terrace (Wth 0.8m), built around the E and S walls.
