The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Baurearagh River. A roughly circular area (diam. 22.6m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.9m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.7m) SW-NE with an external fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.45m) SW-E and by three adjoining linear stretches of a recently erected stone wall NE-SW. The N portion of the interior is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior still retains a slope down to the S. Coniferous trees grow in its N half and large stones occur in its S half. The fosse is obscured by gorse and briars. A field boundary abuts the rath at S.
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.
