What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballincloher West, County Kerry. Circular earthwork, now vanished under grass or forgetting. People lived inside or feared what lived inside. Map makers drew it twice before it disappeared completely.

A circular enclosure is marked on the 1841-42 OS map. On the 1916 edition only the N through W to S bank is marked, but no surface trace can be seen 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. 518. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013
