What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on the S-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. An irregular area (95m E-W; 85m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.4-0.7m; H 0.2-0.5m) which varies considerably in preservation. The interior is partially covered in heather. An enclosure (KE084-024002-) abuts the NE wall, externally and three hut sites (KE084-024001-, KE084-024003-, KE084-024004-) adjoin the internal NE corner.
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.
