What is recorded here

No visible passage remains in Faha Fort/Lios na Faiche, County Kerry, Ireland. Mr Royal said one appeared in the east part of the interior a few years before the survey, then disappeared from sight. The fort still stands with a high earthen bank around a hidden, overgrown middle, as if the ground kept the tunnel back inside itself.

Faha Fort/Lios na Faiche (ringfort of the lawn). Crcular univallate rath KE014-085---- is situated in the corner of a field. The enclosing earthen bank rises to a maximum height of 4m above the fosse and 2.4m above the interior. The interior, which is very overgrown, is at a much higher level than the surrounding land. Mr Royal, the landowner, stated that a few years ago a Man-made underground passage (KE014-085001-) was uncovered in the E sector of the interior; this is not now visible.
