What is recorded here

Derrynacaheragh hides a thirty-five-metre circular enclosure on a sun-facing slope above the Feabunane stream, though grass and time have erased its ridge from human sight. The 1846 survey captured the shape before pasture swallowed it, preserving a boundary that maybe never needed walls because the land itself remembered the circle. Fairy forts do not build with stone; they draw lines in soil and wait for people to stop looking.

In pasture, on a S-facing slope to the N of the Feabunane stream. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
