What is recorded here

A 20-metre circular bank in Aghabeg East still marks the edge of an old lived world, though rabbits have bitten through its flesh and brambles have swallowed the centre. The fort stands 1.8 metres high at its strongest point, wide enough to exclude rather than impress, set in a pastoral field where people and animals have moved for generations. It is not a display piece but a boundary made of earth, weathered into a shallow ring that still resists forgetting.

Internal diameter 20m N-S, 19.4m E-W This univallate rath is situated in a large pastoral field to the SE of KE015-050---- & KE015-051----. The site consists of a circular area enclosed by a 4.5m wide bank. The bank has been much weakened in places due to rabbit holes. The external height of the bank rises to a maximum of 1.8m above the surrounding land and 1.2m above the interior. The interior, at much the same level as the surrounding land, is thickly covered in tree trunks, brambles and branches. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 509. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013
