What is recorded here

Leamnaguila is a lost ringfort in County Kerry, Ireland. It is no longer visible because men levelled its two banks during the twentieth century. The earth swallowed the marker, but the story remains.

In pasture, to the SE of a farmyard, on a SW-facing slope. This rath is not visible at ground level. According to the landowner, prior to being levelled it had two enclosing banks and was partially levelled in the 1970s and the remainder was levelled in the mid-1990s. It is indicated on the 1894 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) which is surrounded externally by a field boundary. Excavation in 1995 of a small portion of the NE section of the rath that appeared to have been undisturbed, revealed nothing of archaeological significance (Bennett 1996, 42).
