Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Nobody knows which stones or chambers belong to the lost site because the name points to more than one earthwork near Lot. That uncertainty is not a flaw; it is the shape of the story. An unknown house, bridge, road or boundary may still direct you to the exact place.
In the 1930s, Capt. D. B. O'Connell recorded that a farmhouse, near the road junction to 'a place called Lot', was said to be built on the site of a 'liss' (KAS). Nearby conjoined raths (KE094-038----, KE094-038005-) were also are mentioned by O'Connell (KAS). This possible rath has not been precisely located. 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
