What is recorded here

'Again located on limestone outcrop, affording good views to the south and west. This site is difficult to trace on the ground, though the enclosing bank can be seen curving over the slope of the reef to the north and to the west. The bank is represented by very low remains elsewhere. Where it survives it is composed of earth and stone 2.4m in width and only 0.25m in height. Aerial photography shows the site to be a circular enclosure measuring 60m in diameter.' 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
