What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on the SW-facing slopes of Mangerton Mountain. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (1.6m E-W) defined by a collapsed curving drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.5m) of slab-like stones abutting a straight E side (L 1.6m). Some stones remain upright, others are leaning or prostrate. There is a possible entrance at NE. The straight E side is incorporated into a relict field boundary (KE085-024002-).
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.
