What is recorded here

Magic is not invention here. It is the first tool of knowing. It may be the birthplace of a great woman, the chamber where a kingdom was named, or the school where human imagination learned its shape.

In woodland, straddling the N end of a flat-topped ridge, c. 400m SSW of the confluence of the Slaheny and Roughty Rivers. An overgrown circular area (34m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by the faint remains of an earthen bank (int. H 0.15m) SSE-SW and by a scarp (H 2.2m) SW-SSE. An external fosse (Wth 2.4m; D 0.4m) is evident SE-NW. There is a causeway entrance at S. An E-W earthen field boundary crosses the N sector of the interior while a N-S field boundary crosses the E sector. Another N-S field boundary is immediately W of the fosse. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
