What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Knockeennalicka, County Kerry. A circular earthen bank and scarp, about thirty metres across, sit on a low hill beside a lane. Field boundaries still radiate outward from the ring, and a buried passage may continue beneath the northeast earth. People may have lived, hidden or worshipped there before the lane and fields took the shape of the place.

In pasture, on a low hill, immediately S of a lane. A circular area (30m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.35m; int. H 0.52m; ext. H 1.45m) WNW-N and NNE-SE and by a scarp (H 1.25m) SE-WNW and N-NNE. A possible entrance in the NW arc is heavily covered with overgrowth. There are also gaps in the bank at W and SE. Field boundaries radiate from the bank externally along the SE and NW arcs. A lane skirts the bank NW-SE externally. There is external stone-facing along the bank at NE. The concave interior slopes gently up to the bank. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (KE058-096001-) in the NE quadrant.
