What is recorded here

'No surface indication of the ring-barrow [KE039-164----] was noted before topsoil-stripping [Excavation No: OOE0769]. The southern half of this site extends under the existing Tralee-Farranfore road. The exposed portion of the site measures 25m east-west, consisting of a circular ditch 1m wide and 0.35m deep. A small quantity of cremated bone was recovered from a shallow depression in the centre of the barrow, but no other artefact was present.' 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: 25 June 2012
