What is recorded here
No visible entrance on the outside, no chamber inside, yet both facts remain written. The boundary is clear, the chamber is absent, and the absence is the shape being recorded. A closed hand can still show its rings.
Univallate rath KE015-027 consists of a sub-circular area enclosed by a well-defined earthen bank, 1.4m-2.4m high externally and .5m-1.9m above the interior.
In the centre of the interior is an oblong mound, 4m x 1.8m internally and .6m high. On the exterior side of the rath to the SE and in the E sector of the dump is a possible entrance to a Man-made underground passage (KE015-027001-), which may be connected to the mound in the interior.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 549. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
