There is no visible trace of this monument which was situated on level ground overlooking Dingle Harbour. It was shown on the 1st edition of the OS map with the symbol for a large mound, but it was named 'Fort' on the Fair Plan and appears as a univallate enclosure on an aerial photograph taken in 1949 (Ministry of Defence, V. 158/110). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 716.

Internal diam. 13m This small univallate rath lies on a SE facing slope overlooking Dingle Harbour. The bank is 1m high externally and .6m high internally. The entrance at S has recently been widened. The only features visible in the interior are 2 depressions which occupy its SE sector, but a narrow opening in the outer face of the bank, directly E of the entrance, provides access to an L-shaped drystone-built souterrain. The opening lies between 2 of the roofing slabs of a passage which runs northwards for 3.5m and then eastwards for 2.25m. The passage is .7m wide and up to 1.2m high and is roofed by 7 flat slabs. The easternmost roofing slab has collapsed inwards and this collapse may be marked on the surface by the southernmost of the 2 depressions. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 493.
