Internal diam. 24.55m N-S, 26.4m E-W
This well-preserved rath is located in flat pasture on the N bank of the Inny river. The enclosing bank of earth and stone varies from .95m to 2.5m in external height, from .95m to 1.35m in internal height and has an average basal width of 5.5m. It is not clear which of the three gaps in the bank marks the original entrance, though that at N appears to be secondary. An opening to a souterrain (KE080-060001-), .9m x .4m, is located in the W sector of the rath's interior. The passage is filled with debris and is no longer accessible.
The OSNB refer to a Lismore (Lios Mór) and a Lisbeg (Lios Beag) in this townland (Drummod, 28-9). It seems probable that this and the following site (KE080-061----) are the monuments to which they refer.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 521. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
