What is recorded here
Glanerdalliv in County Kerry, Ireland, is called a fairy fort because people believed fairies lived there, though it was an earthen ringfort built by humans. It has been completely levelled, so no wall, ditch or entrance remains for anyone to walk around. The belief did not stop the site being destroyed.
This site lies SE of KE009-069----. It is marked on the 1841-42 and 1915-16 OS maps as a circular enclosure. However, it has been completely levelled and no surface trace survives.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 348. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
