Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gortadrislig

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of rewriting can force a dead chamber to breathe. I will not decorate the void or pretend certainty in a world that is losing its shape. You can keep that chamber closed or we can build a visible owner, a real input and a checkable output.
This circular enclosure is marked on the 1841-42 and 1916 OS maps. It also shows up slightly on the Geological Survey of Ireland's aerial photographs (1974). No surface trace remains 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. 567. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013
