What is recorded here
Lisbeg is a hidden fairy fort in County Kerry, Ireland. The earth forgot its shape, but the slope still faces the River Laune. People may have lived inside the circular boundary before becoming a story. The forgoes may have returned to claim the forgotten shape.
In pasture, on a break of a NNE-facing slope, overlooking the estuary of the River Laune. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m).
