Immediately NE of (KE001-010----) lies a univallate rath, A small stream runs along the W sector of the fort. This site was completely inaccessible and measurements could not be taken. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 118.
