What is recorded here

A sub-circular earthen ringfort with a 25.2m internal diameter still stands in low-lying pastureland at Liscullane, its broad bank rising barely above the grass despite partial levelling. The Limerick and Tralee railway track runs one field to the east, carrying modern speed past an ancient boundary that once shaped local life. What remains is a quiet ridge of soil, yet its scale and form suggest a settled community, not a temporary camp.

Internal diameter 25.2m N-S This sub-circular rath is situated in low-lying pastureland and the Limerick and Tralee railway track lies one field to the E. This site has been somewhat levelled from the NE through E to S and only survives as a raised area 1.2m high. For the rest, the enclosing earthen bank is 6m wide at the base and rises to an average of .8m above the surrounding land and .7m above the interior, which is at a higher level than the surrounding land. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 581.
