Indicated

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Kerry, Ireland, where a faint bank and steep scarp circle twenty-four metres of pasture on a south-facing slope. Overgrowth hides the interior and a possible underground passage in the north-west, inviting wonder about what hands dug or abandoned there. The site resists easy reading, preserving more suggestion than fact.
In pasture, on the break of a S-facing slope. A circular area (c. 24m E-W) defined by the faint trace of a bank W-E and by a scarp (H 1.6m to the break of slope at S) E-W. The bank and scarp are covered with overgrowth, making inspection difficult. The interior is partially covered with overgrowth and slopes down to the S. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (KE058-034001-) in the NW quadrant. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
