Internal diam. 21.5m. This circular univallate rath lies 75m to E of KE054-008----. The earthen enclosing bank is c. 1.25m high internally and 1.5m high externally, and its outer flank is partly faced with drystone masonry. Access to the interior is provided by 3 narrow gaps in the ESE sector. The only feature visible in the interior is an oval depression measuring 9m E-W x 5.4m N-S; its origin is not known. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 290. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
