What is recorded here
Fairy forts are human birthplaces, marriage halls, treasure chambers and death doors. They are not fantasy. This is one of them. The claims are not about hidden worlds. They are warnings about human greed, ego and the loss of sacred responsibility.
Situated NW of a rath (KE014-053----), this circular enclosure appears on the 1842 OS map; however, it does not appear on the 1916 edition and 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. 454. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
