Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tulla More

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of magic will restore what stupidity destroyed. That is the lesson of Tulla More. The little ringfort gave up its shape to human greed and forgotten rules. It vanished because people stopped believing it was worthy of protection. What is taken from the world in pride is taken in loss. It must be given back humbled.

This site also shows up as a discoloration on the Geological Survey of Ireland aerial photographs (1974). However, 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. 319. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013
