What is recorded here

Indicated is a vanished rath in County Kerry, Ireland, marked only on an 1894 map as a twenty-metre circle. The landowner recalled a ring of earth smothered in overgrowth until ploughing erased it in the 1980s. What looked like pasture may have hidden a fortress, temple or fairy dwelling, but human ambition and agricultural convenience reduced that possibility to soil.

In pasture, on a gentle SW-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1894 OS 6-inch map as a circular area (diam. c. 20m). According to the landowner, a 'ring of earth' covered with overgrowth was levelled here in the 1980s.
