• KE016-050 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diameter 16.2m N-S, 17m E-W This small univallate rath is marked on the 1841-42 OS map. It does not appear on the later edition though it shows up clearly on the Geological Survey of Ireland's aerial photographs (1974). This rath consists of a circular area enclosed by a well-defined earthen bank 4.5m wide, rising .6m-.9m above the interior and 1m-1.4m above the surrounding area. The interior is at a slightly higher level than the surrounding land and in the N sector of the interior is a slight mound which could suggest a souterrain (KE016-050001-). Numerous cattle breaks are to be noted in the enclosing bank, but there is no definite entrance. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle.
