Excavations at Ballinorig South 2 were undertaken 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 evidence of a single phase of activity. The features identified included five circular pits, which measured between 0.6m and 1.2m across and between 0.2m and 0.64m deep. No artefacts were recovered and the silty fills of the pits revealed little indication of their function.
