What is recorded here

Hot clay and dark soil mark a lost kitchen where people burned sandstone and kept warm beside the Lee. Houses now cover the field, but the pit still holds its heat in memory.

'Monitoring of the development of a new housing estate on the western suburbs of Tralee was undertaken (Excavation No: 96E390) and a number of potential archaeological findspots were identified........Further archaeological activity was located 20m north-west of the cremations [KE029-237001-, KE029-237002-] and included a large pit at the edge of a spread of white clay. The base and sides of the pit were burnt. The fill included moderate to frequent amounts of burnt sandstone fragments; no other artefacts were recovered from it.'
