What is recorded here

Kilsarkan West contains a ringfort called a fairy fort in local tradition, though no human date or event is recorded for it. The earthen bank still stands in County Kerry, marking a place where people may have lived, hidden, or played before the story was lost. What is known is the shape of the fort and the name the land kept for it.
