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 (2.3m E-W; 2.1m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.35m). The S portion of the interior is raised and the N portion is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. Loose stones are scattered on the downslope externally. There is another hut site (KE085-024003-) c. 20m to the SE. An enclosure (KE085-024001-) and two other hut sites (KE085-024008-, KE085-024009-) are c. 42m to the SE. 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
