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 (diam. 2.7m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.4m). There is an entrance (Wth 0.5m) at SW. The SW portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. Loose stones are scattered within the interior. A relict field boundary (KE084-006002-) terminates near this hut site.
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.
