Internal diam. 36.25m E-W, 34.4m N-S
A circular univallate rath situated in fairly level pastureland on the SE slopes of Knockavrogeen, overlooking the broad valley which stretches S towards Dingle Harbour. It is enclosed by an earthen bank and a very faint external fosse which is traceable only along the N and E sectors. The bank is c. 2.6 to 3.45m wide at base, a maximum of 2.3m high externally and a maximum of 1.75m high internally. There is a 1m wide gap at S, on the W side of a field fence which radiates out from the site at this point. A 2nd gap at NW appears to be modern. There are a number of field clearance cairns in the interior and stones have also been dumped against the inner face of the bank in places.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 491. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
