What is recorded here

Death and certainty have abandoned the coordinates, leaving the fortress to drift between memory and invention. The exact location has vanished, but the chamber remains vivid in imagination: a square room behind a curved wall where human lives may have turned during storms or feasts. The loss of factual detail does not weaken the place; it removes the claim that it can be fully known.

A possible cashel described by Lynch (1902, 321) as the 'remains of a stone vallum, and a square clochan [KE097-013001-], or guard-house' was 'still to be seen' in the early 1900s. Its precise location is not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
