The one at Ballincloher in north Kerry no longer survives to be seen on the ground at all, which makes its story, brief as it is, rather telling about how quickly the agricultural landscape can absorb what centuries had preserved.

The enclosure was recorded on the Ordnance Survey maps of 1841 to 1842, accompanied by a bohareen, a narrow rural laneway, running along its western side. By the time the 1916 map was drawn, that bohareen had shifted, now tracing the eastern side of the enclosure in a north to south direction, suggesting the working landscape around it had been quietly reorganised over the intervening decades. The ringfort itself was still visible in aerial photographs taken by the Geological Survey of Ireland in 1974, but at some point after that it was levelled entirely, leaving no surface trace. Its documented history is therefore bracketed between two surveys, the first capturing it intact and the second effectively recording its absence.
