What is recorded here

Long Island in County Kerry wears a thin curving bank across its eastern end, possibly a promontory fort or possibly only a boundary marker. A wide fosse runs beside it, and a circular burial enclosure marks the lowest point of the island. The remains are so slight they may never have defended anyone, yet they still divide the island into lived space and remembered death.

Possible promontory fort described in 2003 as follows; ‘Not yet visited on the ground, this consists of a curving bank or wall cutting off the eastern end of Long Island. A wide fosse, possibly associated, runs parallel to the bank immediately outside it. A circular enclosure used as a burial ground lies at the extreme lowest point of the island. The nature of the remains is unclear, possibly being too slight ever to have been a defensive structure' (Casey 2003, 38).
