What is recorded here
No visible trace remains of the circular enclosure in Togherbane, though it stood large enough to mark on the 1842 map and vanish entirely from the 1916 edition. Four fields east of its neighbour, the fort likely gave way to ploughing, building or simple forgetting. The fairness in its name suggests people once believed the land belonged elsewhere, or that what lived there refused human ownership.
This circular enclosure, four fields E of KE014-082----, is also marked on the 1842 OS map. It does not appear on the 1916 edition, and no visible trace remains.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 505. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
