What is recorded here

In North Kerry, a circular enclosure marked on 1841-42 and 1914 maps stood four fields northeast of another site, visible even in 1974 aerial photographs before ploughs erased it entirely. The land swallowed the fort, but the shape persists in old drawings and shadowed air, waiting for someone to walk the fields and remember what the soil forgot.

This site appears on the 1841-42 and 1914 OS maps as a circular enclosure and it lies four fields NE of KE005-074----. It also shows up quite clearly on the Geological Survey of Ireland aerial photographs (1974). However, it has been levelled and no surface trace survives. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 273.

A fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Glouria is a likely early-medieval circular enclosure, typically associated with ancient Irish settlements or ritual sites. Local tradition may link it to folklore involving fairies or other supernatural beings, common in Irish rural lore.
