Internal diameter 34m N-S, 33.4m E-W
This bivallate rath is situated on rising pastureland and has a good view of the surrounding land. Immediately SW lies a now-disused quarry. This site consists of a circular area enclosed by two banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank has been much levelled and only survives N to E to SE; barely distinguishable, it rises to c .6m high. The fosse is only visible where the two banks exist and it is c 5m wide. The inner bank, though much levelled, is better preserved than the outer bank and rises to 1.1m internally and 2m externally. The entrance may have been to the NE, where there is a c 9m wide gap in the outer bank. On both sides the outer bank curves in towards the inner bank.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 793. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
