What is recorded here
Indicated is a circular earthen fort in Kerry, with a wide bank and two standing stones inside. It sits on a sloping pasture, exposing its south and east sides to sunlight. The broken entrance and preserved arcs suggest people lived there, marked the land, and left a shape still visible beneath grass and sky.
In pasture, on a SE-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 30m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.8m), best preserved along the S arc and with stone facing on its internal face along the SW arc. A break at SSE, which is blocked by a stone wall, may indicate the entrance. The interior slopes down gently to the SE and there are two standing stones (KE067-101001-, KE067-101002-) in the SE quadrant.
