What is recorded here
Glanmane holds an eight-by-three-metre rectangular hole cut into a steep Kerry slope beside a stream, likely serving as a hidden poteen still. Its lean-to roof reached only one point six metres, keeping the work below the notice of passing traders while clear water fed the craft. Cattle now graze the eastern boundary, unaware that human hands once bent copper and fire inside that dark, damp shade.
Situated on the eastern boundary of a field of improved pasture used for animal grazing. At the base of a steep slope next to a stream. Partially obscured by small trees, otherwise in good condition. This site consists of a rectangular structure (dims. 8m N-S x 3m E-W) dug into the base of a very steep slope immediately next to a stream, with a lean to roof would have had a maximum height of c. 1.6m. This site would have been almost invisible from all directions and its location next to a stream, suggesting that this was probably the site of a poteen still.
