In level pasture overlooking the Roughty River to the S. A raised roughly circular area (36m E-W; 32m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 2.55m) NE-NW and by a scarp NW-NE. The entrance is at ESE and there is a gap in the bank at WSW. The interior is largely grass-covered and slopes down gently to the SE; a souterrain (KE093-003002-) is near the centre. The bank is skirted by a road along the N arc and by a farm trackway NNE-SE. A 'stone circle' consisting of 'about 15 stones of varying sizes with a diameter of about 35 feet [10.66m]' was recorded in this rath in the 1940s (ITA). There are, however, no visible remains of any stone circle here. The feature recorded is unlikely to have been a stone circle but it may have been an enclosure (KE093-003001-).
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.
