What is recorded here

In County Kerry, a sub-circular bank stands twenty-two metres wide, its dished centre holding rainwater like a forgotten cup. The earth rises barely seventy centimetres internally, yet that small ridge has survived long enough to suggest a deliberate boundary rather than a random mound. A gap appears on the north-west side, perhaps an entrance or perhaps merely animal traffic wearing the bank flat. People may have gathered there to mark seasons, exclude herds, or simply enjoy the shallow water collecting in the middle.

'The site consists of a sub-circular enclosure measuring 21.5m N-S and 22m E-W with a dished profile and no trace of an internal or external ditch. The enclosing bank varies in width between 5.6m - 7.8m and is on average 0.4m high externally and 0.7m high internally. There is a possible 6m wide gap to the north-west which may be an original entrance but could equally be the result of flattening of the bank by animals.'
