What is recorded here

Mound in Banna East is a univallate rath in County Kerry where fieldbanks cut through the south and west, leaving only a northern arc of earthen bank. Inside the entrance sits an oblong mound, while another lies ninety centimetres southwest, stretching ten metres four centimetres long and one metre two centimetres high. The loss is not empty; it is a shape remembered through what remains visible.

Situated to the W of KE020-017----, univallate rath KE020-015---- has been severely cut on the S to E side and S through W to NW side by fieldbanks. What survives is an earthen enclosing bank which runs from the N to E to SE, giving it an arc-shaped appearance. In the interior, just inside the entrance, is an oblong mound (KE020-015001-). About 9m SW lies another oblong mound (KE020-015002-), its long axis running E-W, measuring 2.5m wide x 10.4m long internally and 1.2m high. The above description is derived from C.
