In rough boggy pasture, on the SW-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain, overlooking the valley of the Owbaun River. The remains of a circular hut site (2.6m N-S; 2.4m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.5m). A boulder is incorporated into the wall at S and W. There is a scatter of loose stones in the grass-covered interior and on the downslope externally. This hut site externally abuts the WSW arc of an enclosure (KE084-006001-). Another hut site (KE084-006007-) is c. 17m to the WSW.
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.
