The National Monuments Service's description
Internal diam. c. 20.5m
This densely overgrown rath is situated about 150m SSW of KE035-029---- on the SW slopes of Drom Hill. The vegetation is for the most part impenetrable but, where visible, the enclosing bank is .8m high internally and 1m high externally. A short stretch of the bank at W has been removed and this sector is now bounded by a N-S running field wall.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 404. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
