What is recorded here

Garrynaneaskagh, or Gleann Ráthe Cuinn, means the glen of Conn's ringfort, naming a person rather than a fairy. The earthworks stood tall enough to mark two Ordnance Survey maps before a plough removed them entirely. Conn may have lived there, loved there, or simply owned the land when the name was born. The soil forgot the wall but kept the shape of the story in its own language.

Glanrakeon Fort/Gleann Ráthe Cuinn (glen of (the) ringfort of Conn - personal name). This circular enclosure is marked on the 1842 and 1897 OS maps and it is divided between OS 6-inch Sheet 14 and Sheet 20. It was ploughed out some years ago and no surface 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. 680. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013
