The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, in the valley of the Sheen River. This possible rath is not visible at ground level though the ground in the area is uneven. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map, with a roughly oval field (c. 50m E-W; c. 30m N-S) indicated at this location on the 1895 OS 6-inch map.
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.
