What is recorded here

Flattened by time or plough, the ringfort in Lahesheragh South vanished from the ground but reappeared in shadow, its circular wall still visible in aerial photographs. It stood as a univallate rath, marked on maps from 1841-42 and again in 1914-15, witnessing centuries of change before disappearing beneath the soil. What was lost to human memory remains captured in light and angle, proving that even erased places refuse to be forgotten entirely.

Marked on the 1841-42 and 1914-15 OS maps. This univallate rath was levelled and no surface trace remains, but it shows up quite clearly on the Geological Survey of Ireland aerial photographs. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 242.
