What is recorded here

'The land is quite marshy and wet and is used as rough grazing for cattle at the moment. Several low banks of earth and stone also occur in this complex, but, as yet, their relationship to the barrows is unknown. Located on the west bank of a small river which is prone to flooding, c.200m from the coast in an area of marshy grassland...... two parallel banks running in a roughly north/south direction from the sea at Tralee Bay to the barrow complex [KE038-137----, KE038-138----, KE038-139----, KE038-140----]. This has a maximum length of 200m, the banks being c.20.0m apart. Average height of the banks is 0.60m, the average width being 5.00m. Possible cursus.' Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97. Date of upload: 30 April 2012
