What is recorded here
Under the stone-ringed field in Lisnagoneeny, a hidden passage may still cut through the earth. The local story claims the ringfort contains more than its visible bank and mound, suggesting human hands shaped a darker route beneath the grass. That unknown depth turns an ordinary pastoral landscape into a place where memory and mystery meet.
Univallate ringfort KE009-064---- is situated immediately N of KE009-065---- in a large pastoral field. The view is excellent especially to the E, S and SW. The site consists of a circular area enclosed by a well-defined bank of earth and stone and an external fosse.
The interior is at a higher level than the surrounding land, and contained within the NW sector is an oblong mound, 1.8m x 1.8m internally and .6m high. A lot of stones are displayed. Locally, there is a story of underground passages (KE009-064001-) in this ringfort.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 364. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
