What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Aghanagran Middle stood as a circular enclosure beside a small stream in County Kerry, Ireland, marked clearly on 1841-42 and 1914 OS maps. The earth has since swallowed its edges, leaving only undulating land where a boundary once cut through grass and soil. Perhaps people lived there, loved there, and disappeared so completely that even the ground forgot their shape.

Marked on the 1841-42 and 1914 OS maps as a circular enclosure, this site lies immediately N of a small stream. All that can be seen today is undulating land, and it is difficult to distinguish any features. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 251. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
