What is recorded here
A circular earthen ring in Aghabeg East vanished between the 1842 and 1916 maps, erasing a boundary that once shaped local life. It may have marked a homestead, a gathering place or a forgotten claim to land. The soil swallowed the line, but the loss still stands out because the circle was drawn clearly enough to record.
This circular enclosure lay SE of KE015-050----. It appears on the 1842 OS map but not on the 1916 edition. No surface trace remains today.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 508. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
