'The site was indicated on the first edition of the OS maps as a curved field boundary and was not visible in the field prior to topsoil-stripping. The site then became apparent as an enclosure, c. 56m in diameter, delimited by a ring of fragmented sandstone stones, which were interpreted as representing the levelled bank. The excavation showed that the surrounding ditch was 1.7-5.2m wide and l.l-2.4m deep. The ditch was backfilled in two stages. The upper fill was modern, while the layers below appear to have been a deliberate backfill, perhaps in antiquity. Basal silt in the ditch fill indicated that the ditch had been open for some time prior to the primary infill. The interior of the site did not contain any surviving features contemporary with the construction and use of the monument. The date of the monument is unknown. The excavator suggested that the absence of any obvious domestic remains may suggest a ritual function for the site.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co.

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.
