Internal diameter 25.6m N-S, 28.6m E-W This bivallate rath is situated two fields NE of KE016-019----. It is in low-lying wet land, but the view is excellent in all directions. Though much levelled and fairly waterlogged, this site is still quite visible. It consists of a circular raised area c .3m high, though to the N a slight trace of an enclosing bank is visible. To the S to SE, the raised area has been completely levelled. The enclosing fosse is c 1m wide. The outer earthen bank is 4m wide and .2m high. The interior would appear to be slightly lower than the surrounding land. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
