What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular earthen ringfort in County Kerry pasture, its broad stone bank still standing beside a faint external ditch. The interior slopes east toward Farranfore, holding a possible fulacht fia and two breaks where modern machinery has cut through ancient boundary. Field-clearance debris has buried parts of the original edge, yet the shape remains clear enough to suggest people once lived, cooked or defended inside that shallow bowl.

In pasture, on an E-facing slope, with views N to Farranfore. A circular area (35m N-S; 33.5m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 5.2m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 1.8m) of earth and stone, and by the remnants of an external fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.3m) NW-N and ESE-SW. Field-clearance debris, piled intermittently on the overgrown bank, and against the internal and external faces of the bank, may have distorted and obscured the original enclosing elements. The interior slopes down to the E. Breaks in the bank at SW (Wth 4.2m) and at NE (Wth 3.5m), respectively, allow machinery access to the interior. There is a possible fulacht fia (KE048-057002-) in the interior. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
