What is recorded here

No visible chamber or chambered cave has been found in Lomanagh, though local memory still points to hidden rooms beneath the earth. The fort stands as a ring of soil and patience, waiting for someone careful enough to listen before digging. What is missing is not absent; it is simply holding its breath until witnessed.

In the 1930s, Capt. D. B. O'Connell recorded a rath, with the tradition of an underground chamber (KE094-038001-) in it, to the NE of a farmhouse and near a road junction to 'a place called Lot' (KAS). This possible rath has not been precisely located. O'Connell also recorded a smaller rath (KE094-038005-) immediately to the S and the site of another (KE094-038002-) nearby, on top of which the farmhouse was built (KAS). A possible rath (KE093-038003-) with a possible Man-made underground passage (KE094-038004-) were also mentioned, about 400m to the W (KAS). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011

A fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lomanagh, likely dating to the early medieval period, is associated with local tradition of an underground chamber. The site, recorded by Capt. D. B. O'Connell in the 1930s, is near a road junction leading to 'a place called Lot,' suggesting a possible link to ancient settlement or ritual activity.
