The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope, on the S bank of the Glashanaglarach stream. A circular area (29m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 1.15m; ext. H 1.2m) ENE-WNW and by a scarp WNW-ENE. An external fosse (Wth 2.1m; D 0.8m) is evident SE-WNW. Several gaps occur in the enclosing bank and a large stone is exposed on the external face of the bank at SW. The interior slopes down to the NW and there is a souterrain (KE102-011001-) in the E half. The stream is eroding the rath at NE. There is a relict field boundary (KE102-011002-) in the immediate vicinity to the W and S. Three hut sites (KE102-011003-, KE102-011004-, KE102-011005-) are c. 40m to the SE, c. 50m to the ESE and c. 50m to the E, respectively.
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.
