Or rather, there is a place where one used to be, the ground now smoothed over and indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland. Ringforts, known in Irish as raths, were circular enclosed settlements typically built during the early medieval period, defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches. Thousands of them survive across Ireland in various states of preservation. This one does not.

The enclosure was recorded on Ordnance Survey maps from both the 1841 to 1842 survey and again on the 1914 to 1915 revision, meaning it persisted as a visible feature in the landscape for at least seven decades of modern mapping, and in all likelihood for centuries before that. Sometime in the years prior to its cataloguing by C. Toal in the North Kerry Archaeological Survey of 1995, the earthworks were levelled, most probably during agricultural improvement work. By the time the site was uploaded to the public record in 2013, nothing remained on the surface. The field has closed over it entirely.
