The National Monuments Service's description
Circular univallate rath KE045-017---- is situated on a NW facing slope near the foot of Flemingstown mountain. The level interior is enclosed by a single earthen bank and contains the remains of 2 rectangular house sites. The house-sites lie end to end in a SSE-NNW alignment, the N house abutting the ringfort bank at N.
N house: The remains consist of a raised rectangular platform, very slightly hollowed in the interior. It is 5.5m long, 4.4m wide and .4m high.
S house: This lies 2m S of the N house site and consists also of a raised rectangular platform. It is 5.4m long, at least 2.8m wide, and .3m high. Its N and E limits are unclear.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 422. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
