What is recorded here
Magic and life are entangled there. No wonder women birthed children or men lost memories. The fort is a living node, not a dead ruin.
Internal diameter 22m N-S, 17m E-W
Directly N of KE021-017---- and situated on a limestone rise is another cahir, although it is now much levelled. It consists of a sub-circular area enclosed by a low wide bank. The bank is on average 8m wide at the base and rises to .6m-1m high. Immediately to the N is a large depression which suggests quarrying.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 829. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
