What is recorded here
In rough heather-covered pasture, on the SW-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. A section of NE-SW wall (L 150m), which commences c. 60m W of a hut site (KE084-001001-), extends to the S and gradually curves to the SE. From here it continues to the E for a distance of 50m where it terminates. The wall is constructed of upright stones (H 1m) which are set at irregular intervals and protrude above the surface of the bog.
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.
