Circular univallate rath KE043-145---- is situated on a very slight, S facing slope on the generally level plain that lies between Dingle Harbour to the S and Lateevemore and Knockavrogeen to the N. Kilfountan early church site (KE043-144002-) lies c. 210m to NNW. The slightly raised interior contains the remains of 3, probably conjoined, hut-sites and an inaccessible souterrain.
A prostrate slab in the SW hut (KE043-145001-) is probably a roofing slab of the souterrain (KE043-145002-) which is now inaccessible. Three small holes in the ground, marked X on the accompanying plan, open into the souterrain, but provide only a very limited view.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 467. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
