What is recorded here

Clearly marked on the 1841-42 OS map as a circular enclosure, KE010-073---- is also marked on the 1939 map, though not as clearly defined. A quarry lies immediately E of this site. Today this possible rath has been much distorted and only survives as a sub-oval area which rises to a maximum of 2.5m above the surrounding land. 2m NE of this site is a mound (KE010-073001-) with a depression in the centre. This feature is possibly connected to the fort. The interior is sloping NW and is at a higher level than the surrounding land. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 387. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013
