In rough hill pasture, on a level area on the W bank of the Kealgorm River, on the SE-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (3m E-W; 2.9m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; int. H 0.25m), the large base stones of which protrude above the surface of the bog. The SE portion of the interior is raised (H 0.2m) to compensate for the hillslope. There is an enclosure (KE085-002----) c. 25m to the W and a fulacht fia (KE085-002005-) is in the immediate vicinity to the SE.
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.
