Indicated (1846). — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Indicated is an 1846 fairy fort in County Kerry, Ireland, preserving a circular earth bank around a possible hut. It is not a broad dramatic ruin, but a small inhabited shape: a ring, a ridge, and a field edge that still directs the eye.

This site is depicted as a circular enclosure on the first edition of the OS map. It now survives as a denuded bank of earth and stone, truncated by a field wall at E, and it encloses an area 21m in diameter. The bank averages .5m high above external ground level at N, where it is 2.5m wide. A raised circular area in the N sector of the enclosure, measuring 5.5m N-S 4.5m E-W, may represent the remains of a hut (KE097-046001-). 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. 681. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
