What is recorded here

'This site was located in land that sloped down to the south-east and was identified on black an white aerial photography. The site showed up clearly and the photograph suggests that in 1998 the site still had a very low level enclosing bank approximately 4m wide, enclosing a sub-circular area measuring approximately 23m by 18m. The photograph suggest that, internally, there was a centrally placed mound or rise, which while it may represent a collapsed structure, would suggest the site may have been a barrow. The site was destroyed by housing in 2002.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co. Kerry; A Landscape Perspective’ by Michael Connolly.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
