What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, in a sheltered hollow, on the SW-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.2m). The W portion of the interior is raised and the E portion is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. Loose stones are scattered within the interior. A possible hut site (KE085-036002-) is 16m to the W and a relict field boundary (KE085-036003-) lies adjacent to the N.
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.
