The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on the S-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. A section of relict field wall (T 0.5m; H 0.4m), consisting of upright stones set at right angles to the line of the wall, protrudes intermittently above the surface of bog. The wall originates c. 25m E of a hut site (KE084-023004-) and meanders (L c. 130m) in a general W to SW direction as far as the river bank. Midway along this stretch, a N-S wall extends for a distance of c. 60m to the S where it disappears into the bog. Most of the stones are collapsed and embedded in the peat.
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.
