What is recorded here

Ballybane enclosure may have been a ritual or defensive site, but a bungalow and shed now sit on its remains. The circular shadow still appears in aerial photographs, waiting beneath modern concrete and garden soil.
Situated between the Tralee-Killarney railway line to the E and the Scart-Fieries road to the W. A slightly raised area (c. 17.3m N-S) is visible in the approximate location of this possible enclosure. A shed, with an adjacent bungalow, now occupies most of the area. There is a circular feature visible in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, Q 204).
