What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on the S-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (2.6m E-W; 2.4m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m). The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.2m) and the N portion is cut (D 0.5m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. Another hut site (KE085-026001-) is c. 12m to the W.
