What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on a ridge, on the S-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE085-003009-). The remains of an oval hut site (5.2m E-W; 2.4m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.4-0.6m) which is grass-covered NE-ESE. There is a slight gap in the wall at E and W. A relict wall from the network of field walls abuts the hut site along the S arc. Another hut site (KE085-003008-) is 2m 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
