What is recorded here
In level pasture, c. 250m N of the Flesk River. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. On the 1893-4 OS 6-inch map the N arc has been truncated making the rath D-shaped. The arc may have been removed during the construction of the Killarney and Tralee branch of the Great Southern and Western Railway, which lies c. 20m to the N.
