Recorded monuments

• KE038-020 Enclosure
  Description

  See field inspection report (diary NF6, 76-7) (SMR file). According to the report, this is a levelled enclosure. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 31 January 2022

• KE038-131 Barrow - pond barrow
  Description

  'The site consists of a sub-circular enclosure measuring 21.5m N-S and 22m E-W with a dished profile and no trace of an internal or external ditch. The enclosing bank varies in width between 5.6m - 7.8m and is on average 0.4m high externally and 0.7m high internally. There is a possible 6m wide gap to the north-west which may be an original entrance but could equally be the result of flattening of the bank by animals.' 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: 22 June 2012

• KE038-132 Burnt mound
  Description

  'The land in this area is relatively marshy and the enclosure holds water after prolonged periods of rain. Two low mounds were located 25m to the north of the enclosure [KE038-131---] and these were destroyed by the construction of an unauthorised access road to a O2 telecommunications mast site in 1999 (since abandoned). Archaeological sieving of the material excavated for the access road clearly indicates that these mounds contained burnt and fire shattered stone as well as charcoal. The larger more westerly mound (KE038-132----) measured 4.3m by 3.3m and was 0.31m in height, the smaller more easterly mound (KE038-133----) measured 3.1m by 3m and was only 0.22m in height. A distinct trough area was not visible in either mound.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co. Kerry; A Landscape Perspective’ by Michael Connolly.
