Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballydonohoe

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Ballydonohoe is a small townland in County Kerry, Ireland. It appears in the request as the place name for a fairy fort or earthen ringfort, but no visible fort, field feature, date, event or personal name is supplied. The clearest fact is therefore that Ballydonohoe is a local place in Kerry, not a separately documented historical site. Any stronger claim would need a named fort, date, event or source from Ballydonohoe itself.
