Internal diam. 29.5m N-S, 31.4m E-W
Lisnaraha/Lios na Rátha: A univallate rath situated on a gentle WNW facing slope at the foot of the NW slopes of Croaghmarhin. It is located on the boundary between 2 large pasture fields and the W half of the bank is now used as a field fence. The bank is generally not well-preserved; it measures a maximum of 1.7m high internally, 1.35m high externally and is 1.85m wide. An outer fosse is merely indicated by a 1 to 2m wide band of marshy ground around the E half of the bank. A break in the bank at SSW measures 2m in width. A 7m long section of the bank at NE has been removed. The E half of the interior is raised slightly, up to .5m, above the W half. No other features are visible within the site.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 457. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
