What is recorded here

Univallate rath KE015-102 in Ballymacandrew South stands immediately north of an east-west road on low-lying ground, its circular earthworks still clear enough to mark the boundary between inside and outside. Within that ring, smaller mounds rise like forgotten rooms, perhaps house-sites or the mouth of an underground passage, waiting for someone to remember what they held. The land stays quiet, but the shape refuses to disappear, keeping a room open long after the people who built it have gone.

Situated immediately N of a road which runs in an E-W direction, univallate rath KE015-102---- lies on low-lying land. It consists of a circular area enclosed by a well-defined earthen bank and exterior fosse. Contained within the interior are small mounds which could suggest either house-sites (KE015-102002-) or Man-made underground passage (KE015-102001-) remains. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 536.
