In pasture, on a steep S-facing slope with views to The Paps of Dana. In the 1940s a rath, half of which was in Denis D. Houlihan's land and half in Denis J. Houlihan's land, was recorded in Stagmount (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). Only the W half of this rath is visible at ground level and consists of an arc of earthen bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 1.5m) S-N abutting a recent linear field boundary at E (L 24m) and enclosing a D-shaped area (dim. 24m E-W). Breaks in the bank occur at S and NNW. Field-clearance rubble is placed haphazardly on and against the bank. The interior slopes down to the S. There are no visible remains of the E half of the rath. An enclosure (KE068-113----) lies c. 50m to the NE.
