Field boundary in Mangerton

In rough heather-covered pasture, on the SW-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. A section of a collapsed drystone wall (H 1m) survives as a series of upright stones appearing at irregular intervals along its length. The wall commences c. 80m SE of an enclosure (KE085-024001-) and two hut sites (KE085-024008-, KE085-024009-) and meanders S, curving downslope to the SW and terminating c. 200m SW of the enclosure. The E side of a hut site (KE085-024007-) is incorporated into this field wall. There is another hut site (KE085-024006-) c. 28m N of the N end of this field wall. 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
