What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Kerry, Ireland. It occupies the summit of a north-facing slope, forming an oval pasture area measured at 56 metres north-south and 42 metres east-west. Earthen banks and a scarp define its edge, while a possible four-metre entrance faces northeast. A grass-covered mound sits in the eastern quadrant, linked to a limekiln marked on the 1894 Ordnance Survey map. A road still skirts the southern arc, passing the quiet ring where human activity and local belief both left their marks.

In pasture, at the summit of a N-facing slope. An oval area (56m N-S; 42m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 1.5m) S-NE, by a scarp SE-S and by a bank which is incorporated into a field boundary system NE-SE. There is a possible entrance (Wth c. 4m) at NE. A grass-covered mound in the E quadrant of the interior is associated with the limekiln indicated here on the 1894 OS 6-inch map. A road skirts the rath along the S arc.
