Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Lisparkatober is a fairy fort in County Kerry, Ireland. It holds a circular earth bank beside Kilnanare stream, hidden beneath impenetrable furze. The causeway still points southeast, inviting entry into a place where human history has stopped and fantasy begins.
In pasture, on a SW-facing slope, c. 75m NE of Kilnanare stream. A circular area (42m N-S; 40m E-W) defined by a substantial earthen bank with an external fosse S-SE. There is a causeway entrance at SE. The interior slopes down to the SW. The rath is overgrown with impenetrable furze bushes.
