The National Monuments Service's description
In forestry, on level ground, c. 50m NE of the shore of Lough Inchiquin. A circular area (diam. 16.45m) defined by an eroded earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.95m) SW-S and by a scarp (Wth 1.2m; H 0.8m) S-SW. There are numerous small gaps in the bank. A shallow fosse (Wth 1.45m; D 0.2m) exists NNE-ESE. The interior is raised (H 1m) above the external ground level and slopes gently down to the SW. Evergreen trees have been planted on the rath.
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.
