What is recorded here

Indicated was a fairy fort on level, well-drained Kerry land, lost when men reclaimed the soil in the 1960s. It hid at the junction of three field boundaries, visible only on maps after the earth forgot its own name. The foramen may still breathe beneath modern farms, waiting for someone to stop measuring and listen.

This site is marked as a circular enclosure, located at the junction of three field boundaries, on the OS maps. No visible trace of it survives. It occurred in level, well drained land and was removed during land reclamation operations in the 1960s (local information). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 795. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
