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 a circular hut site (diam. 2.2m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) with an opening (Wth 0.3m) at SE. The N portion of the interior is cut into the upslope. Loose stones scattered within the interior. A relict wall from the field wall network adjoins the hut site at N. Another hut site (KE085-035003-) adjoins the hut site at W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
