What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not called that because they are small, pretty or harmless. They are called that because people have long refused to touch them. Cloghanelinaghan is no exception. Its ring stands complete, shallow but unbroken, a refusal written in earth.
A slightly raised, roughly circular area which measures 17m in diameter.
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. 859. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
