The National Monuments Service's description
Univallate rath KE026-010---- with 3 or possibly 4 stone huts in the interior.
(1) (KE026-010001-) The largest hut, 4.95m in internal diameter, is centrally positioned in the interior. Its circular drystone wall survives to a maximum height of .9m and does not appear to have been corbelled. The entire NW quadrant is open and must formerly have housed the entrance. A secondary wall across the interior was probably erected to convert the ruined hut for use as an animal shelter or fold.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 412. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
