What is recorded here

'This circular mound was located at the base of Knockanush Hill on its northern side, directly below the massive fort KE029-056----. The land in this general area was reclaimed and small fields amalgamated in the mid 1980's. The landowner remembers the site clearly as it was directly behind his house. It was approximately 1m in height and 8m in diameter with a slight depression in the centre. When bulldozed it was made of small broken stones and black soil;. Some timbers similar to "bog deal" also came from the mound.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co. Kerry; A Landscape Perspective’ by Michael Connolly.
