'This burnt spread was situated in a wet and marshy field on the immediate north side of the main Tralee/ Killarney roadway.All that remains of this site is a scattered spread of burnt stone and charcoal which has been dug from the ground during the excavation of a large sump-like pond connected with the nearby Ballyseedy Garden Centre. The dimensions of the burnt spread was approximately 2.00m N-S by 2.00m E-W. This is unlikely to represent the true dimensions of the site, and is probably the remnants of just one JCB bucketful. Other isolated pockets of burnt red sandstone are to be found through the resultant spoil heap from the digging of this sump.' Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97. Date of upload: 02 May 2012

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
