In rough hill pasture, on the SE-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE085-027002-). The remains of a circular hut site (2.7m E-W; 2.6m N-S) enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.5m). The S portion of the interior is raised and the N portion is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. However, the interior still retains a gentle slope down to the S. Two other hut sites (KE085-027003-, KE085-027005-) are c. 22m to the SE and c. 34m to the W, respectively.
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.
