Internal diam. 19.5m N-S, 23.9m E-W.
A univallate rath situated on the E slopes of the valley that extends NE from Dingle town. The enclosing bank is composed of earth and small stones and is very eroded. It is a maximum of 1m high externally, .5m high internally and at present is 5m wide at base.
An irregular hollow, abutting the bank at NNE, may be the remains of a hut-site KE043-227001-. It is c. 3.5m in diameter and its floor lies .56m below the general level of the interior. It is enclosed by a low bank, .2m high. A low ridge, extending c. 9m to WSW from this hollow, may indicate the position of the souterrain KE043-227002- which was located in this part of the site (local information).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 295. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
