This univallate rath is situated immediately S of the Galey River. The site consists of a sub-circular area enclosed by a bank, though to the N through W to SW no bank is evident, just a rise above the surrounding land. The enclosing earthen bank is, on average, 6m wide at the base and rises to a maximum of 1.5m externally and 1m above the interior. An exterior fosse is to be noted N through E to S; it is best preserved to the S where it is U shaped, 1.4m wide and .6m below the height of the surrounding land. Numerous breaks exist in the bank and there is a 13m wide gap to the SE.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 410. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
