On the eastern bank of the Owencashla river in Coill Bhaile Uí Fhlaithimh, on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, there was once said to be a caher, the Irish term for a stone-walled ringfort of the early medieval period, typically a circular enclosure built to protect a farmstead or the dwelling of a local lord. Nothing of it remains above ground today, and no one living nearby retains any memory of it.

The only thread connecting the site to the record is a note made by the Co. Kerry Field Club in 1946, which logged a local tradition placing a caher at this location. By the time J. Cuppage compiled the Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula in 1986, the structure had already passed beyond memory as well as beyond sight. The 1946 reference is itself a tradition rather than a direct observation, which suggests the enclosure may have been ruinous or levelled considerably earlier than the mid-twentieth century. What survives, in effect, is a record of a recollection of something that once stood beside a river.
