The National Monuments Service's description
Internal diameter 30m N-S
This univallate rath has been cut on its E side by a fieldbank running N-S. All that survives today is a semi-circular area enclosed by an earthen bank and exterior fosse. The enclosing bank is well defined and is on average 1.2m high internally and l 2m externally. The external fosse only survives to the NW through W to SW, where it is c 4m wide and .7m deep. The interior is at a slightly higher level than the surrounding land.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 797. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
