Now that got my attention. I spend a while around Clogher
(Ballimacelliot) a few years ago doing a field project. The area you mention
was not near me, also the N22 Tralee bypass / Tralee to Bealagrellagh
runs very close to the spot you mention.
At http://www.kerrycoco.ie/Roads/[...]Main%20Report%20Volume%202.pdf You will find a report on the N22 Tralee bypass and in it is the
reporting of monuments are listed, but it does mention a ring
barrow at Ballingowan on page 236 of the report. In fact from pg 229
onwards there is a lot of mention of Archeology.
It would appear that it was not on the proposed route so I assume if
there is no visable site above ground they do not bother with it.
Not sure if you would see much now as there would have been a lot of
plant tracking back and forth during the construction of the road.
I hope to be down that way towards end of August so I may take a look
myself.
Hope this helps in some way.
