What is recorded here
No visible trace remains of the large circular enclosure marked on the 1842 map, yet it probably stood as a lived boundary rather than a vacant dot. If the two nearby sites joined by a narrow track, people may have walked between homes, fields or shelters under changing skies. The earth took the shape back, but the drawing preserved the fact that Rathmorrel once held a complete ring.
Marked on the 1842 OS map as a large circular enclosure, it lies SE of KE014-039----. These two sites would appear to have been connected by a bohareen. However, this site does not appear on the 1916 map and no surface trace survives today.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 498. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
