The National Monuments Service's description
Univallate rath KE036-072---- is situated on the E slopes of Corrin mountain, overlooking the valley of the Finglas river.
The interior slopes markedly downhill to E and an irregular hollow in the NE sector is probably the remains of a hut (KE036-072001-), c. 5.8m in diameter. The hollow is enclosed by a low bank, 1m wide and a maximum of .55m high. This is open to S and there is no visible trace of any wall facing.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 370. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
