Hut site in Mangerton

In rough hill pasture, on the W end of ridge, on the SW-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (3m E-W; 2.5m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.6m). A large boulder forms part of the wall along the SW arc. There is a possible entrance at S which is obscured by a scatter of stones. Loose stones are scattered within the interior and around the hut site externally. 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
