Internal diameter 27m N-S, 27m E-W
Lissamogha/Lios an Mhacha (ringfort of the milking-place). This circular univallate rath has an extensive view of the surrounding land and of the Shannon estuary to the N. It consists of a circular area enclosed by an earthen bank; to the NW to W the bank only survives as a platform rising 1.2m above the surrounding land. It is best preserved to the E, where it measures 1.8m above the interior. The width of the bank varies between 3m-6m at the base. A shallow fosse is to be noted from the N through E to S, which measures 2m in width and .5m below the surrounding land. Two gaps at the NE and SE measuring 6m and 4m respectively are probably secondary features.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 152. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
