What is recorded here
Kilclogherane is called a fairy fort because people believed the hidden chamber belonged to fairies, not humans. It stands as a circular rath with two earthen banks on Mr Mannix's land in County Kerry. The belief turned an ordinary field into a place where the unseen might still breathe.
In the 1940s a circular rath with two earthen banks was recorded 'on Mr Mannix's land' (ITA). This rath has not been precisely located.
