Description
Internal diameter 42m N-S, c. 40m E-W This univallate rath is cut on its S to W side by a fieldbank. It consists of a sub-circular area enclosed by an earth and stone bank. The N to W sector of the bank has been levelled but elsewhere it is on average 5m wide at the base and rises to a maximum of 1.8m above the external ground level and 1.6m above the interior. The interior is at a slightly higher level than the surrounding land. In the NW sector of the interior is a depression 6.6m x 9m; c 4m to the SW is an outcrop of stone. In the E sector of this outcrop a possible entrance to a souterrain can be noticed. The sides of the souterrain tunnel are of drystone walling and the tunnel would appear to be travelling in a N to NE direction. In the NE sector there is another depression, 4.4m x 8.8m, and c 12m NNW of this lies a 5.8m x 9m depression. Contained within the enclosing bank to the E is a stone upright which sits in the bank, .4m wide x .7m high. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 665. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
