Description
National Monument No. 156. Clochán Scológ: On an E-W running terrace, in rough, rocky pastureland on the S slopes of Mount Eagle. A group of 4 clochauns, only 2 of which are fairly well-preserved. These latter are aligned N-S, the other 2 foundations, aligned E-W, being conjoined to, but not communicating with, the N hut on its N side. S hut, of corbelled drystone construction, is oval in plan with a blocked lintelled entrance at E. A 3.75m long passageway, defined by upright slabs, leads up to this entrance from E. D: 3.7 to 4.1m. H: 2.2m. N hut is entered at S by a lintelled passage from the S hut. It is roughly D-shaped in plan and the walls are of corbelled drystone construction. A collapsed recess at SE was described by Macalister (1899, 265) as a chamber measuring c. 1.45 x c. 0.45m, but it is also possible that it was an entrance passage to the exterior. D: 2.85 x 3.85m. H: 1.3m. The other structures, now mere foundations, measure 2.3 x 3.6m and 3.9 x 5.25m in diameter respectively, and the entrance from the exterior is located at the W side of the W structure.

Description
Clochán Mór: On S slopes of Mount Eagle overlooking Dingle Bay. A pair of circular conjoined huts of drystone corbelled construction. The SE hut measures 5m in diameter internally, and its wall stands to a maximum internal height of 2.7m. There are 2 lintelled entrances in the E sector, measuring 1.25m in height, 1.18m in width and 1.2m in length, and .94m in height, .57m in width and 1.27m in length respectively. The function of the low stones on edge in the interior is not known and there is now no trace of the 'so-called well' noted by Macalister (1899, 258-9). The lintelled passage at WNW, communicating with the NW hut, measures 1.7m high x .57 to 1m wide x 1.55m long. About midway along the passage, on each side, a break/join is clearly visible in the masonry, suggesting that the 2 huts were not built as a single unit. The NW hut measures 4.85 to 5m in diameter internally, and its wall stands to a maximum height of 3.35m. For most of its circumference, a buttress of earth and stone abuts the external wall face. Du Noyer (1858, 15-6) described a flight of steps ascending the outer wall face in the SW sector, but it is unlikely that such a feature ever existed, and he may have been referring to the 5 or so stones which protrude from the wall, stepping upwards to NW, and which were probably provided to facilitate the construction of the wall. The lintelled entrance at SSE is 1.5m high, .65 to .75m wide, and 1.6m long. Between the 2 entrances, 2.12m above the floor, are 2 wall niches, one above the other. Macalister noted 2 other wall niches in this hut, but they are no longer visible, and their disappearance suggests that the wall has been partly rebuilt. At NNE a lintelled opening, .4m wide x .4m high, gives access to an L-shaped lintelled passage, built with a combination of dry stone walling and upright slabs, contained within the thickness of the wall. The passage extends 1.85m in a NNE direction and then swings SE and continues for a length of 3.35m. The 1st section is .65m wide and .9m high, the 2nd section is c. 1.05m wide and 1m high. A possible vent, .3m wide and .25m high, opens off the N wall at ground level. Macalister noted the possible remains of a 3rd clochaun or forecourt beyond the entrance to the SE hut; there is no trace of this now. A fragment of a rotary disc quernstone was discovered lying loose at this site. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.

Description
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.

Description
National Monument No. 156. Internal diam. 23.8m E-W, 20.5m N-S. Caher Conor/Cathair na gConchúrach: A sub-oval cashel situated on the lower S slopes of Mount Eagle overlooking Dingle Bay. The interior is now occupied by 5 structures in varying states of preservation, but other structures were formerly visible, and both the enclosing wall and the interior appear to have undergone considerable change since the site was first recorded in the 19th century. One wall passage/souterrain is now visible, but 2 others have been recorded. One of the structural stones in the cashel wall bears an inscribed cross. Cashel wall: The enclosing wall consists of a rubble core faced externally and internally with drystone masonry, with some upright slabs forming the base of the inner face along the E sector. Where best preserved it is 3.3m wide and c. 1.7m high. The outer face can be traced around the entire S half of the site, but along the uphill N side it is completely obscured, the top of the wall being almost flush with the external ground level. However, the low stony banks and scarps in the latter area probably represent the wall remains. The outer face is also partly obscured along the E sector by a modern wall. A buttress, 1.3m high x 1.25m wide, has been built against the outer face at W for a short distance. The inner wall face is traceable around the NE half of the site, but the N section may be a later rebuilding, at least in part. Other sections of the wall may also have undergone some restoration. The paved entrance passage at SE is 3.3m long x up to 1.5m wide. A pair of opposed upright jambstones are set into the walls of the passage at about its mid-point. Souterrains/wall passages: A souterrain passage contained within the thickness of the cashel wall at S measures 8.5m in length, 1m in width and 1.5m in height. Its drystone-built walls are corbelled inwards, particularly on the N side, and it was roofed by a series of large slabs, many of which are now missing. Near the W end of the N wall is the opening to a 2nd passage which extends as far as a large clochaun in the interior. This passage is c. 0.7m wide x .75m high and the roofing slabs rest directly on the orthostatic side walls; it is roughly L-shaped in plan. Du Noyer (1858, 9-11) recorded 2 further wall-passages in the N section of the cashel wall, and the 2 lintelled recesses at NW and NE, and the short section of passage visible at W, may be related to these. Guard-chamber: Du Noyer also recorded a circular guard-house contained within the thickness of the wall at SSE, access being by means of a low and angular passage from the exterior. This was no longer visible in 1899 (Macalister, 244-7), but the D-shaped depression in the upper surface of the wall here may mark its location. The lintelled recess in the inner face of the wall, directly opposite this, may have communicated with it. Rectangular foundation: Abutting the cashel wall at E is a rectangular foundation measuring 4.75m N-S x 3.85m E-W, with an entrance in the S wall. Its drystone-built walls are c. 0.5m high. Clochauns: (1) The corbelled drystone hut in the NW part of the interior is pointed oval in plan, but it is possible that it was originally circular and that the present S wall is secondary. It measures 4.4 x 2.45m internally and the roof is closed by a few flags at a height of 2.85m above the floor. The lintelled doorway at SE is 1.01m long, 1.2m high and .73 to .8m wide. (2) The large circular clochaun in the W sector measures 5.1m in diameter internally and the corbelled drystone wall stands to a maximum height of 2.85m. The entrance at E is 1.45m high, 1.6m long and .65m wide, and its inner end is flanked on either side by an orthostat c. 1m high. The souterrain opens into this hut at ground level a little S of the entrance. (3) An almost complete drystone corbelled structure located directly SE of (2). It is sub-rectangular in plan internally, measuring 3.1m E-W x 2.55m N-S, and the walls stand to a maximum height of 3.05m. The lintelled entrance at NE is 1.33m high, .75m wide and .85m long. The function of the 2 low uprights in the interior is uncertain. Rectangular Enclosure: Both huts (2) and (3) open into a generally rectangular enclosure, measuring 7.75m E-W x 6.1m N-S, with walls c. 1m high and an entrance in the E wall. Both Du Noyer and Macalister recorded 2 small chambers in the SE and NE corners of this, Du Noyer describing them as 'still perfect'; no trace now survives. Possible huts: Du Noyer and Macalister noted the remains of other huts in the N and NE part of the interior, but only very vague traces of these are now visible. Macalister also noted a small rectangular foundation directly N of the entrance. Cross-inscribed slab: A large upright slab which forms part of the inner face of the cashel wall at ESE bears a very faint equal-armed cross, possibly with expanded terminals.

Description
National Monument No. 156. Caheradadurras/Cathair Sayers/Cathair an dá Dhoras: A triple clochaun, of corbelled drystone construction, with a souterrain opening from the floor of the central hut, and a subsidiary structure at the SE corner which may be modern. It is located on the lower S slopes of Mount Eagle, overlooking Dingle Bay. Central Hut: The largest of the 3 chambers, this measures 5.6m in diameter internally, and its wall stands to a maximum internal height of 2.25m. A small lintelled wall niche, located .75m above the floor at NW, measures .44m in height, .41m in width and .6m in depth. A possible drain, now blocked, opens off the inner wall face at S and measures .5m in width, .17m in height and .4m in depth at present. The function of the stones on edge in the interior, protruding c. 0.1m above the gravel floor, is not known. The entrance from the exterior at SE now lacks its roof and is blocked by a modern stile. The passage is 1.95m high and 2.75m long. The lintelled and paved passage communicating with the E hut measures 1.14m in height, .8m in width and 2.25m in length. E hut: This measures 4.05 to 4.2m in diameter internally and its wall stands to a maximum internal height of 2.25m, possibly including some recent rebuilding on top. There are small lintelled wall niches at NW and SE. Macalister (1899, 257-8) mentioned traces of a blocked doorway in the S wall, but there is no visible evidence for this at present. W hut: The lintelled passage leading between the central and W huts is 1.3m high, 1.1m wide and 1.9m long. The hut measures 3 to 3.5m in diameter internally, and its wall stands to a maximum internal height of 1.1m. There is a small wall niche at SW. Subsidiary chamber: A small, sub-rectangular chamber abutting the SE side of the E hut. It measures 1.63m x 2.4m internally, and its walls stand to a maximum height of 1.6m The basal course of the walls consists for the most part of large slabs up to 1.35m in height, and these are overlain by slightly corbelled drystone masonry. The entrance at W is unroofed. This structure is not mentioned in Du Noyer's account of the site in 1858 (Du Noyer, 14-5), and it is possible that it was constructed after his visit. The paved pathway leading from this hut to the entrance to the 3 clochauns was also not recorded by Du Noyer. However, he did note a flight of steps on the outside of the S wall of the central hut, but there is no trace of these now. Souterrain (KE052-186001-): The well entrance at the W side of the middle clochaun is located at the E end of an L-shaped souterrain, comprised of a 3.22m long passage running roughly E-W, and a 2.75m long chamber aligned N-S. The passage is .55m wide, .67m high at the entrance and 1.2m high at its W end. A narrow lintelled entrance, .37m wide and .55m high, gives access to the chamber which is 1.05m wide and 1.25m high. The walls are of drystone construction throughout, the basal course consisting of larger stones then the remainder. The floor slopes gently down from the entrance, though the flagged roof maintains a constant level. The flags over the passage form the floor of the entrance passage above. Amulet(?): This stone object, 9.5cms long, with a perforation at one end, was discovered at the site and later purchased by Macalister (1899, 323). It was inscribed on one side with a Latin cross with expanded terminals. A spindle-whorl was also discovered at the site (Macalister, 308). The above description is derived from J.

Description
Caheradadurras/Cathair Sayers/Cathair an dá Dhoras (National Monument no.156/1-5): A triple clochaun, of corbelled drystone construction, with a souterrain opening from the floor of the central hut, and a subsidiary structure at the SE corner which may be modern. It is located on the lower S slopes of Mount Eagle, overlooking Dingle Bay. Central Hut: The largest of the 3 chambers, this measures 5.6m in diameter internally, and its wall stands to a maximum internal height of 2.25m. A small lintelled wall niche, located .75m above the floor at NW, measures .44m in height, .41m in width and .6m in depth. A possible drain, now blocked, opens off the inner wall face at S and measures .5m in width, .17m in height and .4m in depth at present. The function of the stones on edge in the interior, protruding c. 0.1m above the gravel floor, is not known. The entrance from the exterior at SE now lacks its roof and is blocked by a modern stile. The passage is 1.95m high and 2.75m long. The lintelled and paved passage communicating with the E hut measures 1.14m in height, .8m in width and 2.25m in length. E hut: This measures 4.05 to 4.2m in diameter internally and its wall stands to a maximum internal height of 2.25m, possibly including some recent rebuilding on top. There are small lintelled wall niches at NW and SE. Macalister (1899, 257-8) mentioned traces of a blocked doorway in the S wall, but there is no visible evidence for this at present. W hut: The lintelled passage leading between the central and W huts is 1.3m high, 1.1m wide and 1.9m long. The hut measures 3 to 3.5m in diameter internally, and its wall stands to a maximum internal height of 1.1m. There is a small wall niche at SW. Subsidiary chamber: A small, sub-rectangular chamber abutting the SE side of the E hut. It measures 1.63m x 2.4m internally, and its walls stand to a maximum height of 1.6m The basal course of the walls consists for the most part of large slabs up to 1.35m in height, and these are overlain by slightly corbelled drystone masonry. The entrance at W is unroofed. This structure is not mentioned in Du Noyer's account of the site in 1858 (Du Noyer, 14-5), and it is possible that it was constructed after his visit. The paved pathway leading from this hut to the entrance to the 3 clochauns was also not recorded by Du Noyer. However, he did note a flight of steps on the outside of the S wall of the central hut, but there is no trace of these now. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

Description
National Monument No. 156. Internal diam. 22.7m E-W, 16.7m N-S. Caher Murphy/Cathair Mhurfaí: This oval cashel is situated on the S slopes of Mount Eagle overlooking Dingle Bay. Much of its interior is occupied by a group of 5 roughly circular, conjoined clochauns, and a 6th irregularly-shaped structure. A souterrain passage extends from one of these huts to a chamber beneath the cashel wall. The site has been considerably restored by the OPW, and, during restoration work in the 19th century, an elaborate cross-slab was discovered; this is now housed in the NMI. A fragment of the upper stone of a rotary quern was also found lying loose within the cashel. Cashel wall: The oval enclosing wall consists of a rubble core faced externally and internally with well-built drystone masonry, up to 1.9m high. For much of the N half of its circuit, the inner face rises in 3 steps to the top of the wall, each step being c. 0.45m high. The entrance passage is now blocked. It faces ESE and measures 3.2m in length and 1.05m in width. The wall at this point is 1.1m high. At about its mid-point, a pair of upright jambstones are set into the walls of the passage. The passage opens onto a small open space or courtyard bounded to N by the huts. There is now no means of access to the open space between the rear of the huts and the enclosing wall. This area is now occupied by a modern wall, built to contain the debris cleared from other parts of the site. (1) This circular, drystone-built clochaun opens off the NW corner of the courtyard. There is possible evidence for a paved pathway between its entrance and that to the adjacent hut. This hut measures 5.4m in diameter internally and the corbelled wall stands to a maximum height of 1.75m. Directly N of the entrance there is a recess in the wall which may mark the former location of the cross-slab. This latter apparently acted as a jamb stone on this inner, N side of the entrance (Macalister 1899, 256). Souterrain: The well entrance to the L-shaped souterrain lies at the NW side of the interior of clochaun (1). From here the passage extends 4.65m in a WSW direction, and a wedge-shaped chamber opens off the W end of its S wall. The passage is up to .95m wide and 1.2m high and is roofed by a series of large, flat slabs; the walls are constructed of upright slabs overlain by drystone walling. The entrance to the chamber is marked by 2 upright slabs and is roofed by a single lintel. It is .4m wide x .7m high, and a .15m high sill stone spans the opening. The chamber measures 3.6m N-S x 1.45m E-W x 1.5m in maximum height. The E and S walls are of similar construction to the passage walls, but the W wall is entirely of drystone construction. Two projecting courses of large corbels, at the top of the S wall, support the single slab which roofs the chamber. The openings to 2 air-vents also occur in this S wall, about 1.2m above ground level. (2) This sub-circular clochaun is entered from the NNW side of clochaun (1). It measures 4.2m x 3.6m internally and the slightly corbelled, drystone-built wall stands to a maximum height of 1.6m. The paved entrance passage is 1.45m long and .9m wide. A low sill stone spans its inner end. A low, lintelled opening extends through the base of the wall at SW. It is .16m high, .23m wide and 1.35m long. Two projecting stones on the outer face of the wall may have acted as 'scaffolding' during the construction of the hut, or may have been used to tie down the roof material, if other than stone. (3) The W end of the courtyard, between clochaun (1) and the cashel wall, has been walled off to form an irregularly-shaped, unroofed structure measuring a maximum of 5.2m x 4.6m. The paved entrance is 1.07m long x .45m wide and opens onto the courtyard directly S of the entrance to clochaun (1). (4) An entrance passage on the N side of the courtyard leads to a circular hut, 4.7m in diameter internally. The drystone-built wall stands to a maximum height of 2m and is only very slightly corbelled. The entrance passage is 1.7m long and .7m wide at base narrowing to .52m at top. The 2 entrances at NW and SE lead into other huts. A stone-lined pit in the centre of this structure is probably a hearth site. Two stones on edge and a prostrate slab in the W part of the interior appear to define a passage leading to the entrance to clochaun (5) at NW. (5) A sub-circular, drystone-built clochaun measuring 4.5m x 3.55m internally. The wall stands to a maximum height of 2.1m and is slightly corbelled. The paved entrance passage faces SE and is 1.15m long x .61m wide. A lintelled recess at N measures .46m in height, .6m in width and .91m in depth. The 2nd recess noted by Macalister (1899, 255) is no longer evident. (6) This sub-circular hut lies directly N of the main entrance to the cashel, but the only access is by means of an entrance passage opening off clochaun (4). It is 3.3m in diameter and the drystone-built wall stands to a maximum height of 1.75m. The paved entrance is .92m long x .43m wide and is provided at its inner end with a low sill stone. The cupboard recess noted by Macalister (1899, 254) is no longer evident. Cross-slab: This slab measures 1.39m in height above the stand in which it is set, is .63m wide at base, and ranges between .02 and . 13m in thickness. Both broad faces and both sides are decorated. The following description is summarised from information provided by Beití Ó Tuama. The upper portion of one face bears a Maltese cross within a subcircular frame, with a short stem pendant from the frame. The cross is formed by 4 sunken panels which are separated from the intervening panels in false relief by narrow grooves, 1cm wide x 1.5cm deep. Beneath this design, on either side of the stem, is a saltire crosslet, that on the left being a plain linear cross, that on the right having slightly expanded terminals. Directly beneath the stem of the main cross is a tunic-clad human figure. A head, upstanding hair (or a halo?), 2 eyes, and a mouth are faintly visible. Even more faint is a diamond-decorated short tunic, from which stick-like arms and legs protrude. The arms appear to bend at the elbows towards the body, and the feet turn outwards in opposing directions. A spiral and chevron design runs down either side of the face from below the main cross to below the human figure where the designs are linked by a C-curve which runs across the width of the stone. The upper part of the opposite face bears a Greek cross with widely-expanded terminals; within the lower terminal is a very slightly raised triangle. Beneath the right terminal is a plain, equal-armed crosslet, and a plain linear crosslet also occurs between the left terminal of the main cross and the edge of the stone. Beneath the crosses, a triple, figure of eight knot spans the width of the stone. The single strand from which the design is formed swings upwards and downwards at opposite ends of the design, and then runs across the width of the stone framing the figure of eights above and below. Much of one side of the stone is decorated with an interlace design, now quite worn. The other side bears an unintelligible ogham inscription on a vertical stem-line. At top the stem-line terminates in a circle, and at base it terminates in an oval beneath which is a diamond motif. If read from bottom to top, the inscription reads LBMCBDV. Macalister (1945, 175-7) noted only the L before the M, and Rhys (1902, 378) read the 3 scores here as V. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 568. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

Description
During restoration work in the 19th century, this elaborate cross-slab with an ogham inscription was discovered at Caher Murphy, an oval cashel situated on the S slopes of Mount Eagle overlooking Dingle Bay. The slab measures 1.39m in height above the stand in which it is set, is .63m wide at base, and ranges between .02 and .13m in thickness. Both broad faces and both sides are decorated. The following description is summarised from information provided by Beití Ó Tuama.
