Enclosure in Mangerton

In rough peaty pasture, on the SW-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain, overlooking the valley of the Owbaun River. A circular area (5.5m E-W; 5.3m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.3m). Boulder-type stones are incorporated into the wall along the N arc and upright stones are visible along the E arc. There is a possible entrance at NW. Another enclosure (KE084-006003-) and a hut site (KE084-006005-) are c. 10m to the WNW and ESE, respectively. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
