What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on the S-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 3.5m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.25-0.5m) W-S which protrudes above the surface of the bog. A stretch of a wall from a network of relict field boundaries (KE084-023010-) skirts the N arc.
