Internal diameter 29.2m N-S, 29.6m E-W
This sub-circular univallate rath is situated at the bottom of a long, narrow pastoral field. It is touched to the N, W, S and SE by fieldbanks. The enclosing bank is constructed of earth and stone and is c 7m wide at the base. It rises to 3.4m high externally and 2.5m internally. The interior is at much the same level as the surrounding land and access is gained by a 8.4m wide entrance to the SE. In the N sector of the interior are the remains of souterrains (KE015-033001-): The most N one is open and drystone walling is evident, though this chamber has been filled with rubbish. In the NE corner of the chamber, a lintel stone can be seen. Three metres to the S of this chamber lies a second one; this, however, has collapsed, though a lot of stones are visible.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 555. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
