Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Death and marriage both touch the hill, but neither belongs to the fort. That exclusion answers the woman's claim and leaves room for the living woman to make her own difference.
The OSNB records a 'fort' called 'Lissaghaun/Liosachán, located in an area called 'Cappagh Knocknaboola' (Ó Cíobháin 1978, 8). Not marked on the OS maps, the site has not been identified and Ó Cíobháin suggests that it may be the 'fort' recorded by the OSNB in Knocknaboola townland (KE056-055----). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 646. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
