In pasture, on S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Cummeenboy stream. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. On the 1895 OS 6-inch map, the N and E arcs are indicated as straightened and incorporated into the field boundary system. According to the landowner, the field boundaries were levelled and the fields re-seeded during land reclamation a number of years ago.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
