  Description

  Internal diam. 32.5m N-S, 37m E-W Mullaghaliss Fort / Mullach an Leasa (?): This bivallate rath is located on top of a rise at the mouth of the Cloon valley. 'Lisheenhear' (KE082-014---) and a second univallate rath (KE082-015----) are located c. 300m to SW, on the opposite bank of the Owenroe river. The subcircular site is bisected by a modern field boundary, running NE-SW, and is best preserved to E of this. At NE the outer bank, which is largely composed of loosely piled stone, survives up to 1m high above external ground level and measures 1.65m in basal width. It falls 1.7m to a flat-bottomed fosse, .8m wide at base. The inner bank rises to a maximum of 2.7m high above this and measures 2.3m in basal width. Largely of earthen composition, it falls .7m to the interior. Elsewhere the enclosing elements do not survive to any considerable height. The interior of the site is heavily overgrown and is apparently featureless. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 476.
