Internal diameter 43.4m N-S, 42m E-W
Situated on a rise immediately to the W of Perriman's house, the land gently sloping to the SSE, this univallate rath consists of a circular area enclosed by an earthen bank and exterior fosse. The enclosing bank rises to a maximum of 3.6m above the fosse and 2m above the interior. The U shaped and well-defined external fosse is, on average, 3.4m wide and 1.4m deep. The interior is at a higher level than the surrounding land. In the W sector the bank would appear to have been stone faced for c 22m, though this is probably modern workmanship. The entrance lies to the E and is c4m wide.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 499. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
