Near the Meennascarty river in County Kerry, on level ground roughly half a mile south of Tralee Bay, there is nothing left to see of what was once recorded as a circular enclosure, the kind of earthwork feature that early cartographers and surveyors labelled loosely as a fort regardless of its actual function or age. The site exists now only as a cartographic ghost, a feature named on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey map and annotated as a fort on the so-called Fair Plan, the working manuscript from which the published maps were drawn.

By the time surveyors revised the map for the second edition, something had already gone wrong. The depiction there suggests that the south-western half of the enclosure had been removed by the late nineteenth century, most likely through agricultural clearance of the kind that quietly erased thousands of similar features across Ireland during that period. Circular enclosures of this type are generally understood as the remains of enclosed farmsteads, sometimes dating to the early medieval period, though without excavation it is impossible to say more about what this particular site once was. What J. Cuppage documented in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, under reference no. 723, was essentially already an absence: a site known from maps, positioned about fifty metres east of the Meennascarty river, with no visible trace surviving on the ground.
