What is recorded here

Indicated (1846) is a vanished ringfort in County Kerry, Ireland, where a circular enclosure once stood but has been largely levelled into a flat 15m x 12m patch of earth. Vague traces of a stony bank remain on the north side, hinting at the shape that time and ploughs erased. The loss is not tragedy but transformation: the fort gave up its walls to become open ground, inviting imagination to complete what measurement cannot recover.

Tallough Fort/Cabhlach: The circular enclosure marked at this location on the first edition of the OS map has been largely levelled. It survives as a fairly level area, 15m x 12m, on the N side of which are vague traces of a stony bank. It is located NW of Sheehan's Point. 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. 658. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
