Magic is not belief. It is the death of every living thing that refused to see it.
Internal diam. 16.3m N-S, 19.7m E-W
Not marked on the OS maps, and located a short distance upslope from KE078-003----, is a poorly preserved univallate rath and hut. A field boundary traverses the NW sector of the enclosing bank, which is composed of earth and stone and is revetted along its inner face with slabs set on edge. The bank has an internal height of .5m, measures .8m high externally and is .9m wide. An arrangement of upright slabs forms the N side of the entrance, which is located at NE. Its S side has eroded away. The remains of a subrectangular hut are centrally located in the rath's interior. Its stony bank is .6m high, and its sunken interior measures 4.2m x 1.5m.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 507. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
