Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic fort in Rath Beg, County Kerry. One of two raths on Lawrence Kelly's land in the 1940s. People buried their dead there long before. The exact spot has been forgotten, but the earth still holds the shape of hands that built it.
One of two raths (see KE068-013----) recorded in the 1940s in Lawrence Kelly's land, and which had been used 'as a cemetery [KE068-089001-] long ago' (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). This possible rath has not been precisely located. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
