What is recorded here

Freemount holds a vanished fort, not a proud monument but a forgotten mouth. The story ties it to James Mahony's land, yet the field has swallowed the boundary. What remains is a challenge: to stop believing that every honest detail must appear polished or complete.

In the 1940s traces of a 'lisín or little fort' were recorded in James Mahony's land (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). This rath has not been precisely located.
