This horseshoe-shaped mound is situated in good pastoral land. Its overall dimensions are 23m SW-NE x 24m NW-SE and it rises .5m above the surrounding land. There is a 4m gap to the NNE. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 72.

A low circular mound now marks this site, which produced some burnt stones when ploughed. Its overall dimensions are 13m N-S x 15m E-W and .5m in height. The above description is derived from C.

A low semi-circular mound is all that remains of this site. A levelled fieldbank which ran in a SW-NE direction removed any trace of the S side of the mound. The mound survives to a height of .3m and measures 10m N-S x 15m E-W. KE016-030---- & KE016-031---- are in the immediate vicinity of this site. The above description is derived from C.

Internal diameter 13m N-S, 18m E-W This univallate rath is situated in the corner of a field. Immediately to the NW to N, in the next field, lie three fulachta fiadh (72, 73, 74). This rath consists of an oval inner area which is enclosed by a low, wide, gently sloping earthen bank rising to a maximum of .6m above the interior and 1.2m above the surrounding land.

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.
