What is recorded here
Lisnagowna is a hidden fairy fort in County Kerry, Ireland. Its earth and history have vanished beneath grass and time, leaving only a ghost on an old map. The forges of the world have broken every chain of life, and the chamber waits for a new flame to return.
In pasture, on a W-facing slope. This rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1895 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m), the S portion of which is truncated by an E-W field boundary. Another rath (KE057-092----) is c. 70m to the E.
