Internal diam. 24.4m
This univallate rath is located on level ground at the inner edge of the broad low-lying valley that surrounds Trabeg. It lies at the junction of 3 (formerly 4) fields, and the enclosing element, now used as a field fence, has been modified and possibly completely replaced in parts. It is irregular in outline and consists of a combination of earthen bank, earthen bank with internal or external stone revetment and stone walling with an earthen core. It is a maximum of 1.35m high externally and 1.15m high internally, but the bank in the SSE sector rises only .1 to .2m above the interior. No clearly-defined entrance is preserved.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 496. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
