What is recorded here
No visible trace remains in Dromkeen West, yet a circular enclosure stood there when surveyors drew it in 1841-42. It vanished from later maps, leaving behind only a fairy fort name and the memory of a boundary once strong enough to mark.
Situated NE of KE015-042----, this circular enclosure is marked on the 1841-42 OS map. It does not appear on the 1916 edition and no visible trace survives today.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 561. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
