What is recorded here
In pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level though a low rise (diam. c. 35m) is visible in the vicinity. It was indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m). This may be one of two raths (see KE065-018----) mentioned in the 1940s as being in the same field and 'about 200 yards [183m] apart' in Kelly's farm (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). One rath was described as being 'very big' with 'two earthen circular rings' and the other was a 'single ring fort' (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry).
