What is recorded here

In pasture, at the top of a SW-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1939 OS 6-inch map by a dashed curving line SSW-NE, abutting a linear NE-SW field boundary at SE, which may indicate the remains of a rath (diam. c. 35m). A Man-made underground passage (KE066-055----) lies c. 8m to the SSW.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KE066-055001

Enclosure in ParkEnclosure · 573 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Park, County Kerry is just a muddy circle where Vikings allegedly got lost. They probably tripped over a cow and gave up entirely. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

Fulacht FianBurnt spread · 996 yd

Explorer Tom Burnt spread in Dooneen would buy a huge tent and live on the hill if it won the lotto. It’s just a patch of burnt material by a stream, but it dreams big. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

Explorer Tom Killarney Railway Station in Avenue is guarding a scandal from 1853 that never got out. Rumour says a trainee conductor fell asleep and married a phantom passenger. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Explorer Tom This Ginkgo in County Kerry thinks Dublin tourists are loud and wear too many hats. It’s been around longer than their excuses for being late. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Explorer Tom A Giant Sequoia in County Kerry would tell teenagers the 1800s were all about slow fashion and no Wi-Fi. It’s definitely not from here, but who cares? Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
