What is recorded here
No visible trace remains, yet the 1842 map still draws a circle beside the Toberlury holy well. That vanished line suggests people once shaped the Kerry earth before forgetting or fate removed the result. The enclosure may have held life, ceremony or ordinary work. It disappeared from later maps and modern sight, leaving only the old drawing to prove it existed.
This circular enclosure is marked on the 1842 OS map, SE of Toberlury holy well (KE014-013----). It does not appear on the later edition map 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. 481. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
