The National Monuments Service's description
Sub-circular univallate rath (KE045-030----) is situated in rough, wet pasture, on a gentle NNW facing slope at the foot of Flemingstown mountain.
A pair of conjoined huts (KE045-030001- & KE045-030002-) abut the stone-faced inner flank of the bank at S. They are roughly circular in plan and measure c. 4.7m in diameter internally. The only visible entrance lies in the E side of the E hut. The W hut appears not to have had an independent entrance. The huts are enclosed by earthen banks, .45 to .8m high, with some traces internally and externally of drystone facing.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 420. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
