What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken fairy fort beside Lough Inchiquin, its earthen bank torn into gaps and its centre raised above the surrounding ground. Evergreen trees have taken the rath, softening the old line while the shallow fosse and scarp still mark the boundary. The lake remains close enough to watch the wood, and the wood has closed around the place that once stood separate.

In forestry, on level ground, c. 50m NE of the shore of Lough Inchiquin. A circular area (diam. 16.45m) defined by an eroded earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.95m) SW-S and by a scarp (Wth 1.2m; H 0.8m) S-SW. There are numerous small gaps in the bank. A shallow fosse (Wth 1.45m; D 0.2m) exists NNE-ESE. The interior is raised (H 1m) above the external ground level and slopes gently down to the SW. Evergreen trees have been planted on the rath. 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
