In level pasture, in the SE corner of a field, with views S to The Paps of Dana. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on the 1846 and as a roughly circular raised area (diam. c. 15m) on the 1894 OS 6-inch maps. This is one of the two raths (see KE068-089----) recorded in the 1940s in Lawrence Kelly's land (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). It was also referred to in the 1840s as 'Lisheengarriv' in the E side of the townland (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 1, 35) and is described as 'a very small Danish fort 80 links [16m] in diameter' (OSNB, Kilcummin no. 3, 37). Standing stones (KE068-088----) lie c. 30m to the W.
