What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lissycurrig is a vanished circular enclosure in County Kerry, Ireland. It appeared on the 1841-42 OS map but disappeared from later editions and lost all surface trace. Perhaps people walked past it, forgot it, or deliberately removed it. In any case, the land kept its own version of the story while human records stopped repeating it.
