Internal diam. 45m N-S, 35m E-W This oval rath, with souterrain, lies at the junction of 4 fields on a gentle N facing slope. It is enclosed by an earthen bank up to 1.2m high internally and 2m high externally. A laneway skirts the E half of the enclosure. A 2nd outer bank is present, 5m beyond the inner one, in the NW quadrant, but this may be a later feature. It is 1.5m high and composed of earth with a facing of neat drystone walling. A blocked gap in the inner bank at S may be the original entrance, but, at present, access is provided by gaps at NE and SW. When the laneway was being widened about 9 years ago, a souterrain was discovered outside the bank in the S sector, but was subsequently covered over again. It consisted of 2 circular, beehive-shaped chambers connected by a passage. Neither chamber was high enough to provide standing room. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 353.

Internal diam. 36m This circular univallate rath lies on a gentle N facing slope directly behind Burnham farm. The earthen enclosing bank is a maximum of 3.5m high externally and 1.5m high internally, and some drystone facing survives along its inner flank. A 3m wide gap at S appears to mark the location of the original entrance and other less well-defined breaks appear to be secondary. A laneway skirts the outer edge of the bank along the W sector. A tree plantation now occupies the interior, and a low rectangular cairn of small stones lies a little to NW of the entrance. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.
