Internal diam. c. 18m
Situated about 300m SE of KE035-027---- on the SW slopes of Drom Hill, this rath commands an excellent outlook in all directions, particularly S towards the central mountain ridge of the peninsula. It is shown as a circular enclosure on the 1st edition of the OS map, but the single bank of earth and stone is preserved only from W through N to NE. The outline of the remainder of the site is only vaguely discernible. The surviving bank is overgrown and not well preserved. It is up to .9m high externally, 1m high internally and c. 2.2m wide at base. Two short stretches of drystone masonry adhere to the inner face. There is a tradition of a 'cave' on the site.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 403. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
