What is recorded here
No stone, no ditch, no ridge remains in Dromkeen East. The earth swallowed the fort between 1842 and 1916, erasing the circular line that surveyors once drew. Whatever lived inside vanished so completely that even the memory of its shape disappeared. Kerry does not preserve every boundary; it reclaims them.
Situated NE of KE015-029----, this circular enclosure is marked on the 1841-42 OS map. It is not marked on the 1916 edition and no surface trace survives.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 551. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
