What is recorded here

Lissavoherdurragha is a ruined fairy fort in Kerry, its shallow bank broken by a road that cut through the circle before anyone lived there. The fort is small, worn, and half forgotten, but it still marks the edge of a ridge where land and story meet.

In pasture, at the edge of a ridge, on a SW-facing slope. A circular area (26m E-W) defined by traces of a low bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.05m) E-SE and WNW-NW and by a scarp SE-WNW. A linear NW-SE road truncates the rath NW-E. This rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) which abuts a NW-SE road at NE. On the 1894 OS 6-inch map it is truncated at NE by the road. This is probably the rath recorded in the 1840s as deriving its name from 'an old condemned road' which was within 'two chains of it on the E side' (OSNB, Kilcredane, 19). A second rath (KE058-013----) lies c. 180m to the W. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
