What is recorded here
Mortars and wheels erased the fort, but they failed to erase the memory of shape. The land still holds the ghost of a circle, waiting for someone stubborn enough to listen.
Marked on the 1841-42 and 1914-15 OS maps. This univallate rath was marked on the first edition map as being cut in half by a bohareen. Today this site has been levelled and only survives as a slight rise above 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. 245. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
