Hut site in Mangerton

In rough heather-covered pasture, on a terrace on the SW-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (3.4m E-W; 3.2m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.6m). The wall is well preserved along the N and S arcs. There is a scatter of loose stones outside the perimeter of the hut site. A relict field boundary (KE084-001002-) lies c. 60m W of this hut site. 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
