Hut site in Mangerton

In rough pasture, on the SE-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (3.2m E-W; 3m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.6m). The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.3m) and the N portion is cut (D 0.6m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. However, the interior still retains a gentle slope down to the S. Loose stones are scattered within the interior and on the downslope externally. There is another hut site (KE085-025----) c. 30m to the W. 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
