What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Awnaskirtaun is a small stone-fenced fort recorded in 1940s County Kerry, now lost to the exact field though still named in local memory. It may have been a boundary marker, a child's fort, or a genuine tiny ringfort that shrank in the telling. Denis Cahill's land held it, and the land still exists even if the fence does not.

In the 1940s a very small 'fort' with a 'stone fence' was recorded in Denis Cahill's land (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). It has not been precisely located.
