What is recorded here
Slievebwee is an earthen ringfort in County Kerry, Ireland. It appeared on the 1841-42 OS map with a road cutting through it, but vanished from the 1916 edition and left no visible trace behind. People may have lived inside its circle before the road broke it open, yet even memory has erased the mark.
This circular enclosure appears on the 1841-42 OS map and a road cuts it in half. It does not appear on the 1916 edition, and no surface trace survives today.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 590. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
