What is recorded here

'This enclosure was initially identified from aerial photography but was located in an area where there have been extensive land improvements - all boundaries removed, land ploughed and reseeded as grassland. As such the site is very difficult to trace at ground level, however a short arc of low, broad bank is still visible to the east, The bank remains only as a slight undulation on the ground surface. It is 3.4m wide and has a height of only 0.15m. Effectively the site is completely destroyed at ground level.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co. Kerry; A Landscape Perspective’ by Michael Connolly. PhD Thesis UCC 2008 Date of upload: 03 July 2012
