Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Scrahanagullaun

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Scrahanagullaun in County Kerry, Ireland held a rath at its southern edge when surveyed in the 1840s. Whether people lived there, buried treasure there or simply avoided the mound, the earth was shaped for human affairs. The fort has vanished from precise knowledge, leaving behind a boundary marked only by memory and the chance that stones once resisted forgetting.
A rath was recorded in the S end of the townland in the 1840s (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 1, 41). It 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
