Tucked into the corner of a field in north County Kerry, this modest earthwork sits within close proximity to three fulachta fiadh, a type of ancient cooking site typically identified by a mound of fire-cracked stones and charcoal-rich soil, the remains of a process in which water was boiled by dropping heated stones into a trough. The three examples lie just to the north and north-west, in the adjoining field, making this a small but unusually dense cluster of early activity in one stretch of farmland.

The rath itself is a univallate example, meaning it has a single enclosing bank rather than the two or three concentric rings found at more elaborate sites. The interior is oval, measuring roughly thirteen metres north to south and eighteen metres east to west, and is surrounded by a low, broad earthen bank that rises to about sixty centimetres above the enclosed ground and just over a metre above the surrounding land. The bank averages nine metres wide at its base, which gives it a gently sloping, almost cushioned appearance rather than any dramatic defensive profile. A gap of around three metres on the eastern side likely marks the original entrance. Raths of this kind are generally associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland, probably between the sixth and tenth centuries, and were used as enclosed farmsteads rather than fortifications in any military sense. The description comes from the North Kerry Archaeological Survey compiled by C. Toal, published in 1995.
