What is recorded here

Garrynaneaskagh holds a circular earthen fort thirty-six metres wide, its steep U-shaped ditch cutting through grass and memory. The interior rises above the surrounding land, overgrown and hidden, while a vanished underground passage once opened in the east sector. People may have lived there, feared there, or simply passed beside it; the earth still keeps the shape of their choices.

Internal diameter 35m N-S, 36m E-W Faha Fort/Lios na Faiche (ringfort of the lawn). This circular univallate rath is situated in the corner of a field. The enclosing earthen bank rises to a maximum height of 4m above the fosse and 2.4m above the interior. The enclosing fosse is steep and U shaped; this can especially be seen W through N to E. It is 1.4m-2.7m wide and .8m-3.8m deep. The interior, which is very overgrown, is at a much higher level than the surrounding land. Mr Royal, the landowner, stated that a few years ago a Man-made underground passage (KE014-085001-) was uncovered in the E sector of the interior; this is not now visible. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 482.
