The National Monuments Service's description
Univallate rath KE036-049----, enclosing a pair of conjoined huts, is situated on an ESE facing slope on the E flank of the mountain ridge separating Glanlough from Glanteenassig.
The 2nd possible hut (KE036-049002-), to ESE, is too indistinct for measurement.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 434. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
