What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballymacjordan stands in County Kerry, Ireland. A circular enclosure appeared on the 1841-42 OS map, but only a tiny bank section remained visible by 1915. The earth has taken back the shape, leaving behind a name that suggests something smaller, quicker and less honest than human history.

This circular enclosure appears on the 1841-42 OS map. Only a tiny section of the enclosing bank of the NW through N to NE survives on the 1915 OS map, and no surface trace remains 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. 662.
