The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SE-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Glantrasna River. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated as an enclosed roughly circular area (diam. c. 50m) on the 1897 OS 6-inch map with a children's burial ground (KE109-008002-) in its NE quadrant. A field boundary, c. 5m outside and concentric with the inner enclosing element, encircles the rath and may have incorporated a second bank. A second rath (KE109-009----) lies c. 100m to the E, on the opposite side of a tributary to the Glantrasna River.
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.
