What is recorded here

Clearly marked on the 1841-42 OS map as a circular enclosure, KE010-073---- is also marked on the 1939 map, though not as clearly defined. A quarry lies immediately E of this site. Today this possible rath has been much distorted and only survives as a sub-oval area which rises to a maximum of 2.5m above the surrounding land. 2m NE of this site is a mound (KE010-073001-) with a depression in the centre. This feature is possibly connected to the fort. The interior is sloping NW and is at a higher level than the surrounding land. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 387.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KE010-073001
