Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Slievenavadoge

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Slievenavadoge holds a ringfort where earth still stands against time. Kerry farmland has swallowed most of its purpose, but the circular ridge remains visible enough to mark human intention. People may have lived there, buried there or simply avoided the hollow place after dark. The fort does not need a warning label when its shape already suggests exclusion.
