The National Monuments Service's description
Lisnahorna/Lios na hEornan: Univallate rath KE043-131---- situated on a W facing slope overlooking the narrow valley of a tributary of the Milltown river. It is enclosed by an earthen bank and fosse and there is a souterrain (KE043-131001-) and possible hut-site (KE043-131002-) in the interior.
A low mound of stone collapse in the interior of the site may mark the site of a hut but there is too little evidence for definite interpretation. The mound is 6.8m long and no more than .4m high.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 489. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
