What is recorded here

Indicated is a lost rath in County Kerry, Ireland, where a twenty-metre earthen bank once enclosed a circular space above pasture. The 1960s levelled that bank into nothing, removing the fort from sight but leaving its shape behind in local memory. It still faces Macgillycuddy's Reeks, an absent room set into the land.

In undulating pasture, on top of a rise with views SW to Macgillycuddy's Reeks. This possible rath is not visible at ground level and, according to local information, it was levelled in the 1960s. Also according to local information, it comprised a circular level area defined by a single earthen bank. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on the 1893-4 OS 6-inch map.
