What is recorded here

Labballow Fort is gone, leaving no visible trace on the slight ridge above eastern pastureland. It appeared once as a large oval enclosure with a second bank along its western half, but even that shape has vanished from the land. The names suggest a white cow or a fairy dwelling, inviting wonder about what lived there before the grass swallowed the memory.

Labballow Fort/Leaba na Bó(?) or Lios Bán na Bó: There is now no visible trace of this monument, which was located on a slight ridge overlooking a level expanse of pastureland to E. Marked on the first edition of the OS map as a large oval enclosure, with a second bank indicated along its W half, it is marked ‘site of’ on the second edition. 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. 664. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
