Calluragh burial ground (KE034-014001-) /An Cheallúnach: Two cross-slabs stand within this irregular, stone-walled enclosure which lies about 500m to NE of Faha village, on the S slopes of an E spur of Brandon mountain. Children were still being buried here in the early 19th century (OSNB Cloghane, 26). The pilgrim's path from Cloghane to the summit of Brandon mountain passes through the village, and Harbison (forthcoming) suggests that the calluragh may have been associated with this ancient pilgrimage.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 835. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
