What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Lerrig North, County Kerry: a circular earthen ringfort marked on the 1841-42 and 1898 OS maps, now erased because the field has been ploughed several times. It may have stood as a boundary marker, a shelter, or a small dwelling place, but the soil has taken back its shape. What remains is a name on old maps and a chance to imagine the lives that moved through it before the plough came.
