What is recorded here

On the summit of Mangertonbeg, with extensive views in all directions. A cairn (diam. 7.5m) with ten evenly spaced radially set stones (H 0.2-0.9m) around its perimeter. The two tallest stones, 1.2m apart, are at N and form an entrance-like feature. A depression in the W quadrant contains fragments of broken stone. There is a recently built cairn within the perimeter at S. 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
