The National Monuments Service's description
In a possible rath (KE056-039----). Depicted on the 1894 OS 6-inch map, as an oval enclosure (c. 15m E-W; c. 10m N-S) in the interior of the rath just off-centre to S. The rath was levelled during land reclamation in the mid-1970s and both the rath and enclosure are not visible at ground level (SMR file).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
