This small bivallate rath is situated on the side of a hill sloping in a N direction. It consists of a sub-circular inner area enclosed by a low earthen bank, which rises to an average .7m externally and .6m above the interior. The outer bank only survives NNW-W where it ranges from 1.6m-5.2m wide, and rises to .3m above the external ground level and .8m above the fosse. The fosse is only evident where the outer bank is visible. It ranges from 1.8m-2.2m wide. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 660. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

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.
