'No trace of this recorded field system can be traced on the ground , though this may be due to the fact that the lands here have undergone considerable reclaimation and field amalgamation since the mid 1990's. Aerial photography shows the line of now destroyed field boundaries but those visible are as shown on the OS 1939 Edition maps and are unlikely to be of any considerable age. Aerial does note the presence of a previously unrecorded crop mark enclosure (KE029-227002-), partially within the RMP constraint of the field system at its south-east corner. The enclosure appears to have been univallate and approximately 40m in diameter. The enclosure recorded in the Record of Monuments & Places to the east, partially within the constraint of the field system, KE029-147----, is destroyed and no trace can be seen at ground level. A possible crop mark enclosure (KE029-227002-) is visible on aerial photography where it appears to be univallate and approximately 58m in diameter. The large previously unrecorded enclosure KE029-275----, described below is immediately south of these sites.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co.
