Internal diameter 33m N-S, 31m E-W
This bivallate rath is touched by a fieldbank to the SW and SE. Immediately NW is a small pond. This site consists of a circular area enclosed by a well-defined inner bank, fosse and outer bank. The inner bank is c 7m wide and rises to a maximum of 3.6m externally and 2.2m above the interior. The fosse and outer bank can only be distinguished NNE to E, the fosse measuring 2m in width. The outer bank is low and wide and measures 7m in width and .9m high. In the S to SW sector of the interior, there is a raised platform area .8m high. Contained within this raised area is a depression 1.4m x 4m. Since 'cave' is marked on the 1841-42 and 1915-16 OS maps, this is possibly the remains of the souterrain (KE009-029001-),. Two main gaps appear in the bank, one to the W which is 2.6m wide and the other to the SE which is 2m wide, both providing access to 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. 344. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
