The one at Emlaghpeastia, on the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, is more reticent. What survives is a low stony subcircular platform, roughly 25 metres in diameter, sitting quietly in low-lying pasture a short distance south of Portmagee Channel. It does not appear on Ordnance Survey maps, which places it in a curious category of sites that exist in the archaeological record but not in the cartographic one.

Ringforts, known in Irish as raths when they are earthen and cashels when they are stone-built, were the dominant settlement type in early medieval Ireland, broadly from around the fifth to the twelfth century. They typically enclosed a farmstead and the daily life of a single family or small household. The Iveragh Peninsula contains a remarkable concentration of such sites, a reflection of how intensively this corner of Kerry was settled during that period. The platform at Emlaghpeastia fits the regional pattern in terms of scale, but its stony construction and its low, subdued profile suggest it may have been substantially robbed or worn down over the centuries. The surrounding pasture and proximity to the tidal channel would have made this a reasonably productive agricultural spot, which is precisely the kind of location early medieval farmers sought out.
