Excavations were undertaken at Caherleheen 2 on behalf of Kerry County Council as part of Stage (iii) of the Archaeological Services Contract prior to the commencement of construction of the N22 Tralee Bypass/Tralee to Bealagrellagh, which extends from Lissatanvally townland to Flemby townland.
Excavation revealed no evidence of archaeological activity. The burnt mound recorded during the Stage (ii) works seemed to be the result of hillwash and burnt roots from field clearance activities.
