The National Monuments Service's description
KE036-073---- is the northernmost of 4 closely-grouped raths situated on the E side of Corrin Hill. It lies on a SE facing slope about 75m N of KE036-075----.
A roughly D-shaped hut (KE036-073001-), built against the bank at ESE, measures 4m x 4.6m internally. Its wall is now reduced for the most part to a band of collapse but portion of the inner wall face at WSW is preserved to a height of .5m. The entrance at NW is defined by 2 stones set standing on edge .55m apart.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 369. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
