What is recorded here

Enclosure in Lerrig North is a flattened earthen ring in County Kerry, Ireland, possibly a satellite fort beside a larger rath. It measures 17.5m internally and survives as a low, wide semi-circular bank, much reduced since the 1841 map showed it clearly. The land has taken back most of its shape, leaving only a broad ridge where people once drew a line around their own world.

Marked on the 1841-42 OS map as a circular enclosure, on the 1898 edition it does not show up as clearly and would appear to be somewhat levelled. Today all that survives is a semi-circular earthen bank which is now much levelled. It is very low and wide, being on average 11m wide at the base and .7m-1.2m. high. This site is possibly a satellite fort of the previous rath (767). The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle.
