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 D-shaped hut site (1.8m NW-SE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.5m) and by a straight NW side (L 3.2m), formed by a relict field wall. The SE portion of the interior is raised and the N portion is cut (D 0.5m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. Loose stones are scattered within the interior and on the downslope externally. Another hut site (KE085-027004-) is c. 34m to the E and there is a fulacht fia (KE085-027006-) 150m to the WSW.
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.
