What is recorded here
A circular clochaun marked on 2nd edition of OS map. Survives as an oval depression, 4.7 to 4m in diameter and up to 1.5m deep. Macalister (1899, 252) noted the foundation of another clochaun in the centre of the same field, but this does not survive, though several roughly circular depressions are located in the general area.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1476. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
