Internal diameter 26m N-S, 27m E-W
This univallate ringfort is situated in a large pastoral field which is sloping S. It consists of a circular area enclosed by an earth and stone bank. The enclosing bank is on average 6m wide at the base and rises to 1.4m externally and .8m-1.2m internally. Two main gaps are to be noticed: to the NW measuring c 4m wide and to the E, which is c 3m wide. The opening to the E displays a lot of stones and may be the original stone-lined entrance. The interior is at a slightly higher level than the surrounding land, and in its W sector are two elongated mounds displaying a lot of stones. The N mound measures 6.4m x 2.8m externally, while the one c 1.6m to the S measures 6m x 4m; they are possibly the remains of a house site (KE015-018001-).
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 519. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
