Internal diam. 27.5m. This circular univallate rath is located on a gentle S facing slope on the E side of the valley that extends SE from Coumaleague Hill to Ventry Harbour. The earthen enclosing bank is a maximum of 1.6m high and c. 4m wide at base. The entrance was probably located in the SE sector where the bank has been replaced by a stone wall. The interior is occupied by a series of cultivation ridges, and an earth and stone mound in the centre may consist of clearance debris. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 301.
