What is recorded here
Tubrid More in County Kerry held a broad earthen ring, twenty-four to twenty-five metres across, before machinery levelled it in 1988. It is not gone entirely: a five-metre band of differing soil still outlines the vanished fort beside its southern fieldbank. The fairy label may be mischief or wonder, but the earth remembers the shape even when human hands have erased it.
Internal diameter 24m N-S, 25m E-W
This univallate rath was levelled in 1988 and survives today as a circular area which is outlined by a 5m wide soil mark. A fieldbank runs immediately to the S in an E-W direction.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 794. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
