What is recorded here
Scarriff Island is a small landmass in County Kerry, Ireland. The name suggests a place set apart from the mainland, perhaps marked by rocks, shallow water or a narrow passage. Little else is recorded, but the gap leaves room for imagination. It may have been a hunting ground, a trading post or a forgotten settlement. The sea may have taken what people built there. The island still exists, holding the shape of what is no longer known.
