What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, in unenclosed commonage, on the S-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE085-035004-). The remains of an oval hut site (5m E-W; 2.6m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 1m). The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.4m) and the N portion is cut (D 1m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. Loose stones are scattered within the rush-covered interior. 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
