Roughly circular bivallate rath KE044-076---- is situated in poorly-drained pastureland on the S slopes of Croaghskearda. A clochaun (KE044-076001-) and souterrain (KE044-076002-) have been recorded in the interior.
The clochaun noted by Curran (no.1) is not now discernible, but one of the stony mounds in the interior probably marks its location. It was 13 feet (4m) in diameter.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 454. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
