Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballybroman

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Ballybroman is a lost ringfort in County Kerry, Ireland, marked on maps from 1841-42 and 1898 but no longer visible on the ground. It may have been a farmstead, a refuge or a boundary marker, yet the earth has taken back its shape. What remains is a name, a coordinate and the suspicion that ordinary fields still cover rooms, hearths and lives.
This circular enclosure is situated in the SW corner of a pastoral field and lies ENE of KE021-071----. It is marked on the 1841-42 and 1898 OS maps but no surface trace survives 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. 722. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013
