In pasture, on a W-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Drombohilly River. A slightly raised oval area (36.5m E-W; 27.5m N-S) defined by an eroded grass-covered bank with an external fosse. Intermittent sections of the bank (Wth 1.7m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.9m) are evident WSW-ENE and the fosse (Wth 1.2m; D 0.4m) is evident SW-NNE. A low WSW-ENE ridge occupies most of the interior. This is probably one of the three raths recorded in Drombohilly Lower/Upper in the 1930s, by Capt. D. B. O'Connell (KAS).
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.
