This one in Urlee, County Kerry, offers nothing of the sort. A rath, or ringfort, is a roughly circular enclosure of earthen banks that would once have surrounded a farmstead, typically dating from the early medieval period, and thousands of them survive across Ireland in varying states of repair. This particular example has vanished entirely from the ground, leaving only its cartographic ghost behind.

The site was recorded on the Ordnance Survey maps of 1841 to 1842 as a circular enclosure, clear enough at that point to be worth marking. By the time the 1914 edition was produced, something had already begun to encroach: a fieldbank had been pushed through the north-west to west section of the monument, cutting across its arc. Fieldbanks of that kind were the routine work of agricultural improvement, boundary-making, and land consolidation, and they could do considerable damage to earthworks that had stood for a thousand years or more. At some point between the later nineteenth century and the present day, whatever remained above ground disappeared altogether. C. Toal's North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995, confirmed that no surface trace of the site could be found.
