What is recorded here

'Located 25m east of recorded monument KE028-090---- is a surviving arc of earthen bank approximately 60m in length, which is observed by the curve of a modern field boundary. The bank is 0.65m in height and 5.9m in width. This arc of bank may be part of a large enclosure, as possible crop mark evidence suggests an enclosure, linking to this extant bank, with an approximate diameter of 124m. However, it may be that the undulations in the field are influencing this interpretation. Nevertheless the arc of bank and the flatness of the arc suggest the former presence of a large earthen-banked enclosure.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co.
