Place & story
Circular and square earthworks
Matt Kelleher’s archaeological survey account describes a Glanballyma ringfort about forty-six metres across, bounded by a bank, ditch and scarp. A long depression inside may indicate a collapsed souterrain. A separate enclosure is roughly square, about twenty-three by twenty metres, with rounded corners and an earthen bank. Both are recorded in pasture within the townland. [2] [3]
Fifty inhabitants in 1911
Glanballyma had fifty inhabitants in 1911, twenty-seven male and twenty-three female, in ten occupied houses and one empty house. Its population had been eighty in 1891 and sixty-six in 1901. The census lists it in Kilflyn parish and electoral division, Clanmaurice barony and Tralee No. 1 dispensary district, within Tralee Poor Law Union. Its area was 398 acres and twenty-one perches. [4]
