Enclosure in Kilcurry

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Kilcurry is an enclosure where a fort once stood beneath the later church, remembered as Beul teine, the place of Druidical fires. No wall or ditch remains visible, yet the name preserves a sudden image: flames rising beside a fortified seat while people watched or feared. The church later occupied the same ground, translating old fire into Christian worship without erasing the shape of the earlier place.
There is a tradition of a fort on the site of the church in Kilcurry (LH004-060001-). Referred to as 'Beul teine' or place of Druidical fires. No visible remains. (CLAJ 2, 1908, 37) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 17 November 2011
