What is recorded here

Enclosure in Aughils is a very low mound in County Kerry, Ireland, hiding a man-made underground passage known locally as a forgotten fort. The earth has swallowed most of the structure, leaving only a subtle rise for people to stumble across or ignore. Whatever lives inside the dark passage has waited patiently beneath the grass, preserving its shape while the world above changed and forgot it.

A Man-made underground passage (KE046-016001-) was discovered at this location which is known locally as the site of a fort (CKFC 1950 and 1953; local information). The site is now marked by a very low mound. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 595. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
