The National Monuments Service's description
Circular bivallate rath KE037-009---- is situated on level ground about 300m S of Tralee Bay. The entire monument is densely wooded and overgrown with briars and gorse, but an extensive souterrain and traces of hut-sites are visible in the interior.
Hut-sites: The hut-sites in the interior are represented by several spreads of stone and arcs of stony banks but it was not possible to determine their number, lay-out or dimensions.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 386. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
