In pasture, on a SW-facing slope. A circular area (28.4m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by two earthen banks, an intervening fosse and an outer fosse. The inner bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.9m) is stone-faced and has numerous gaps. The intervening fosse (Wth 4m at base) is evident E-NE. The outer bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m) is evident S-SE and there is a scarp (H c. 1.2m) SE-S. The faint outline of a possible outer fosse is visible S-WSW. There are possible entrances in the inner bank at S and in the outer bank at NNE. Stones are scattered about the interior, making the surface uneven. This is the rath recorded in the 1940s on Peter O'Meara's land (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). A possible souterrain (KE058-060001-) and a hut site (KE058-060002-) are in the NE quadrant.
