'This barrow lies in a field of reclaimed grassland on a ridge in the foothills of the Slieve Mish mountains, which affords superb views in all directions. This site has now all but been obliterated, and is visible as little more than a cropmark. It is almost circular, measuring 23.0m N-S by 21.0m E-W, although the eastern side of this site has been almost completely destroyed. Remains of a central platform can be seen, 0.10m in height and 12.0m in diameter. This is surrounded by a ditch, 2.50m in average width and is 0.01m below the level of the platform. This ditch is visible as a dark green ring of grass. Enclosing this is the remains of a bank 0.01m in height and averaging 3.00m in width. The crest of this bank is 0.01m above the bottom of the ditch. It is unlikely that any trace of this site will survive the intensive agriculture carried out on this farm, as this ring barrow has now been almost completely obliterated. Any further attempted reclamation of this field, which is still a little marshy and wet, will remove the last traces of this site.'

See field inspection report (diary NF7, 181-2) (SMR file). According to the report, there is no visible surface trace of this souterrain. Discovery of the monument was described by Hitchcock (1854-5) as follows; 'The few portions of bones which I send were picked up by myself in underground chamber discovered, towards the end of June last, on the Messrs. Hilliard's at Ballydunlea, near Tralee. As this was evidently the first time the souterrain had been disturbed since its desertion by the original occupants, perhaps I may be permitted to give some account of it. The 'cave' was discovered in the course of digging up an old stone fence which ran down through the length of the field. There is no trace of a fort on the surface; but a mound like a portion of tumulus is to be seen, overgrown with blackthorn, briers, &c. This mound may have formed part of the embankment of fort; but it is now difficult to ascertain this, as it seems to have lost much of its original form, and no further trace of a fort remains. The entrance to the cave is from the west side, where we get into a long passage, which slopes down deeper till it reaches the level of the door of the inner chamber. This passage from where we entered to the little doorway leading into the chamber is about seventeen feet [5.2m] long; its average breadth three feet [0.9m], and average height four feet [1.2m]. A great part of one of the side walls is formed by the natural lime-stone rock, the whole structure being built with the lime-stone of the place. The rest of the passage is composed of middle-sized stones, covered over at top by large flags. The doorway leading to the inside chamber is two feet [0.6m] high, by one and half feet [0.5m] broad, the bottom and part of the sides being also formed by the natural rock, hollowed for that purpose. The chamber is of a circular form, being five feet [1.5m] broad by six feet [1.8m] long, and it is about six feet [1.8m] high, built of middle sized stones, brought in, one over the other, in the form of a bee-hive, till they are overlaid at top by a few larger stones. The whole building is very rude. The door of the entrance passage and also that of the chamber are covered with stones, which seem to have lain there a long time. The floor of the chamber, under the stones, was partly strewn with small bones and portions of bones, and it is a few of these which I send the Society. I heard that a horse's skull was found in the chamber by some person who went in soon after it had been opened, and that, as usual in such discoveries, the greatest hopes of finding treasure were entertained. The entrance passage and chamber lie nearly east and west, and as the old fence lay in the same direction, it must have passed over them. I could see no trace of an inscription on any of the lintels in this souterrain. In the adjoining field, and nearer to the river, there is what I always considered an interesting fort [KE038-010003-]'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 28 January 2022

- KE038-010007: Burial, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE038-010007-. Bones possibly belonging to a levelled burial ground associated with a souterrain (KE038-010001-) was described by Hitchcock (1854-5) as follows; 'The few portions of bones which I send were picked up by myself in underground chamber discovered, towards the end of June last, on the Messrs. Hilliard's at Ballydunlea, near Tralee. As this was evidently the first time the souterrain (KE038-010001-) had been disturbed since its desertion by the original occupants, perhaps I may be permitted to give some account of it. The 'cave' was discovered in the course of digging up an old stone fence which ran down through the length of the field. There is no trace of a fort on the surface; but a mound like a portion of tumulus [KE038-010002-] is to be seen, overgrown with blackthorn, briers, &c. This mound may have formed part of the embankment of fort; but it is now difficult to ascertain this, as it seems to have lost much of its original form, and no further trace of a fort remains. In the adjoining field, and nearer to the river, there is what I always considered an interesting fort [KE038-010003-]. It is formed of small stones, I believe rather a rare occurrence and in the centre is a large and rude stone [KE038-010004-], placed in an oblique position, as if it had served the purpose of an altar for sacrifice. I have often sat on this stone, meditating on its probable use, and on the curious fort in which it is situated'. See field inspection report (diary NF7, 189-90) (SMR file). According to the report, the possible burial ground was levelled sometime after 1960. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 28 January 2022

'This site is located in a large amalgamated field in gently sloping land, which is devoted to strip-grazing for cattle. All views to the north are obscured by the rise in the land, but the dominant aspect is to the south, south-east and south-west. Total dimensions of the site are 72.0m N-S by 62.0m E-W, the average width of the bank being 6.00m. The average height of the bank externally is 0.50m, the average internal height is 0.30m. No features can be discerned in the interior. A possible external ditch may be seen at west, 5.00m in width and 0.25m in depth, although this might also represent the remains of a now destroyed field fence.'

'Apparently built on top of the enclosing element of the above enclosure [KE038-087----] at south is a smaller enclosure with earthen banks. Total dimensions of the site are 28.0m N-S by 23.0m E-W. The enclosing bank is, on average, 7.00m in width although this increases to 10.0m in width at north-east. The average external height of the banks is 0.50m, the maximum internal height is 1.00m, as the interior has a slightly dished appearance with the result that ground level here is substantially lower than corresponding external ground level.'

'Located close to sites [KE038-126001-, KE038-126002-], above, this feature is located on the western side of the Finglas River near the head of Scotia’s Glen and is known locally as a ‘mine’ where so called ‘Kerry Diamonds’ can be found in abundance. Collapse of rock from the steep western side of the glen at this point has exposed an 8.5m deep vertical vein of boulder clay, surrounded by red sandstone bedrock.This clay contains large quantities of quartz, rock crystal, feldspar and so called ‘Kerry Diamonds’ or amethyst. However, jasper, chert, pebble flint and greenstone also occur in this glacially derived stratum. The local tradition and occurrence of a wide variety of materials in this clay may suggest this as a location for the gathering/extraction of the large numbers of rock crystal artefacts from excavations in the Tralee area.'

'Located on the eastern side of the Finglas River, near the head of Scotia’s Glen, this site again affords excellent views down the glen to the south. The site consists of an irregular mound of stone and earth (KE038-126001-) running NW-SE for a length of 14.3m beside the river. The mound varies between 3.3m in width at its north-western end and 5.2m in width at its south-eastern end, and is on average 1.3m high.'
