What is recorded here

Indicated is a partially collapsed stone ringfort on a NW-facing slope in County Kerry, Ireland. Its wide wall tilts across the hill, with the north side raised and the south side cut into the ground to keep the circle level. Field boundaries still radiate from it, and a dark passage may hide in the southwest, suggesting people shaped this place long before it became a ruin in pasture.

In pasture, on a NW-facing slope. A circular area (36.5m E-W; 35m N-S) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 3.6-4.6m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.35m) of large stones. There is a possible entrance at NE. The N portion of the interior is raised (H 0.8m) and the S portion is cut (D 1.1m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. There is a possible hut site (KE075-005001-) and a Man-made underground passage (KE075-005002-) in the SW quadrant. Large rocks align the wall externally along the SW arc and slippage from the wall is visible along the base of the wall, internally and externally. Field boundaries radiate out from the cashel wall at NNW, NE and SW. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
