What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Glanballyma, County Kerry: a 46-metre earthen ring on a west-facing slope, its bank still standing though diminished, with a narrow depression inside that may mark a collapsed passage. The shape suggests people made a boundary, lived inside it, and left a hole where cleverness or catastrophe broke through. What is missing has not stopped the field from keeping the outline.

In pasture, on a W-facing slope. A circular area (46.8m NNE-SSE; 46m ESE-WNW) enclosed by a low earthen bank (int. H 0.95m; ext. H 0.35m; Wth 5.6m) and external fosse along the SE arc and by a scarped edge elsewhere. The interior slopes to the W with a long narrow depression (L 13m; Wth 6.5m; D 0.55m), possibly indicating the presence of a collapsed Man-made underground passage, in the SW quadrant.
