Internal diam. 21m N-S, 23m E-W
A circular univallate rath situated on the S slopes of the central mountain ridge overlooking the Kilduff valley. The land also falls away E towards a small stream. The earthen enclosing bank is a maximum of 2.1m high and an average of 5.5m wide at base. However, in the SW quadrant, the bank has been reduced to a height of 1.6m externally and c. 0.25m internally. The SE facing entrance has been considerably enlarged and is now 5.5m wide. It slopes gradually up from the level of the surrounding field to the higher level of the interior, and a line of stones on edge along the top of the slope, on the NE side of the entrance, may be part of an entrance feature.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 333. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
