What is recorded here

Barrow stood on a south-east slope in County Kerry, its low bank enclosing a small oval space until housing destroyed it in 2002. A central mound rose inside the circle, perhaps marking a buried chamber or simply the remains of a collapsed structure. The site vanished quickly, leaving only measurement and memory behind a new residential development.

'This site was located in land that sloped down to the south-east and was identified on black an white aerial photography. The site showed up clearly and the photograph suggests that in 1998 the site still had a very low level enclosing bank approximately 4m wide, enclosing a sub-circular area measuring approximately 23m by 18m. The photograph suggest that, internally, there was a centrally placed mound or rise, which while it may represent a collapsed structure, would suggest the site may have been a barrow. The site was destroyed by housing in 2002.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co. Kerry; A Landscape Perspective’ by Michael Connolly.
