- KE029-271 Burnt mound
Description
'This low mound was generally circular in plan and 6m in diameter. The mound was composed of layers of fire cracked, angular stones, black soil, ash and charcoal. A circular pit cut into the basal subsoil was partially excavated, the remainder of the pit being outside the area of investigation, indeed three circular to sub-circular cuts and smaller pits filled with material similar to that comprising the mound were excavated. The three larger examples varied in size from 0.88 by 0.66m, to 2.20 by 1m and 3.60 by 1.20m and from 0.30m to 0.45m in depth. There was no evidence of in situ burning or stone or wood linings on any of these features.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co. Kerry; A Landscape Perspective’ by Michael Connolly. PhD Thesis UCC 2008 Date of upload: 20 June 2012
- KE029-272 Burnt mound
Description
'This low mound measured 5.65m by 2.40m and was composed of layers of fire cracked stones clay, charcoal stained soil, charcoal and ash. An irregular cut 1.10m by 0.60m and 0.30m deep filled with burnt material was uncovered as were three small stakeholes filled with soil flecked with charcoal. There was, again, no evidence of in situ burning. The irregular cut may have served as a small trough though no lining was recovered.'

- KE029-273 Burnt spread
Description
'This feature took the form of a natural depression which contained a spread of burnt material – fire cracked stones, charcoal etc. – which was overlain by a series of charcoal stained clay, silt and marl deposits. The excavators suggest that the depression may have been the edge of a small pool or pond and that these clay.silt/marl deposits accumulated on the burnt material following its use. The burnt material extended over an area measuring 2.8m by 1.8m and was 0.30m in depth.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co. Kerry; A Landscape Perspective’ by Michael Connolly. PhD Thesis UCC 2008 Date of upload: 20 June 2012
- KE029-274 Burnt spread
Description
'This spread extended over an area measuring 1.80m by 1.40m and was only 0.05m thick. It comprised charcoal, soil and some fire cracked stones. The spread was contained in a slight depression in the basal boulder clay.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co.
