What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Sheheree, County Kerry. A circular earthwork, twenty-eight metres across, sits on a hillock in pasture, its low bank and faint outer ditch still marking the boundary. The interior remains level, unchanged since people last walked it. What happened inside is no longer written anywhere, but the shape still holds the memory of being made and used.

In pasture, on a hillock. A circular area (28m N-S; c. 27m E-W) defined by a low flattened earthen bank (Wth 6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.1m) mainly evident SE-N. Slight traces of a shallow intervening fosse and a low outer bank are evident along the S arc. The interior is level. The rath is visible as a shadow site in an aerial photograph (OSAP, 2119-20) with a possible linear field wall (KE066-107----) radiating from the NW arc.
