What is recorded here

Drombrick is a fairy fort hidden beneath a modern bungalow and a pasture in County Kerry. The 1846 OS 6-inch map marked a circular enclosure about forty metres across, but the rath has since been quarried for loose shale until no boundary remains visible at ground level. The fairies did not leave a ruin; they handed their fort back to the earth and let a human house sit above the place where their wall once stood.

In pasture, on gently undulating ground. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m). In recent years the rath has been quarried for a loose shale deposit. A modern bungalow lies adjacent to the E.
