Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Banard

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Banard holds a forgotten ringfort, buried beneath grass or lost to time. The 1940s pointed to Timothy Moynihan's land, but the exact circle has slipped away. What remains is a gap in the landscape, a fort that exists only in the absence where it should be.
A rath was recorded in the 1940s 'in Timothy Moynihan's land (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). This rath has not been precisely located. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
